André Knoesen

Photonics, sensor systems, industrial internet of things

Dr. Knoesen's general interest is to develop and apply sensor and sensor networks to enhance interaction between humans and electronic systems. His research is now focusing on wine making as a specific application area. New sensors and methods are developed that along with existing sensors are connected into large-scale networks to monitor multiple physical and chemical parameters to better understand, control and in general optimize wine fermentations.
