Summary
Alexander Von Lühmann is a research leader and neurotechnology engineer with 11+ years of experience building wearable biomedical imaging systems and machine learning-driven signal analysis. He heads the Intelligent Biomedical Sensing Lab at TU Berlin / BIFOLD, serves as Lead Technology Advisor at NIRx, and holds visiting researcher appointments at Boston University’s Neurophotonics Center. His work centers on multimodal fNIRS and diffuse optical tomography hardware and algorithms, with a practical focus on continuous, data-driven brain–body monitoring for everyday-neuroscience applications. Alexander combines academic rigor—Dr.-Ing. summa cum laude in Machine Learning & Neurotechnology—with industry product leadership as former CSO and R&D director at a leading fNIRS company. He is active in standards and community governance as a board member and standards co-chair for SfNIRS and participates in ISO/DIN working groups, which informs his approach to interoperable, clinically-relevant device development. An entrepreneurial consultant since 2010, he bridges instrument design, ML signal processing, and translational product strategy to accelerate wearable neuroimaging from lab prototypes to real-world use.
