Sebastian Schubert - NanO Postdoc

Sebastian is a NanO Postdoc in non-linear SIM and RESOLFT microscopy.

He received his PhD in 2013 from the University of Heidelberg, Germany. The work was carried out in the lab of Prof. Stefan W. Hell at the Max Planck Institute in Goettingen, Germany. There he designed a novel RESOLFT-type microscope which has facilitated the three-dimensional visualization of living cells at high spatio-temporal resolution using low light levels. The combination of innovative illumination modalities with reversible switching fluorescent proteins (rsFPs) enabled fast image acquisition of large fields of view.

At NanO Sebastian uses his experience with rsFPs and super-resolution microscopy to implement non-linear structured illumination microscopy (NL-SIM), potentially reaching well below 100 nm lateral resolution, and applying it to biomedical research.

Additionally, Sebastian has strong experience in image analysis, where he uses quantitative and statistics methods like signal processing, Fourier analysis and regression. He uses Python, Matlab and R in his daily work programming software for data acquisition and analysis.
