Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Börner is a physicist and Professor für Biophotonik und Physikalische Technik at Hochschule Mittweida with eight years of focused experience in single-molecule biophysics and RNA folding kinetics. He combines hands-on TIRF microscopy and smFRET experiments with MD simulations to link molecular dynamics to structural RNA contacts, and develops the open-source MASH-FRET software to analyze single-molecule videos. His work spans building custom multi-color TRIF microscopes, advanced fluorophore characterization, and rigorous RNA biochemistry, underpinning both research and teaching of biophotonics and physics. Previously he led experimental teams and supervised PhD students at the University of Zurich, bringing strong project and lab management skills. Based in Mittweida, Germany, he bridges experimental optics, computational analysis, and software development to push quantitative understanding of RNA dynamics. An understated strength is his track record of translating complex instrumentation and analysis into reproducible tools and training for the next generation of biophotonics researchers.
