Klaus Suhling develops and uses advanced multidimensional fluorescence imaging techniques such as Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) to understand the properties and interactions of macromolecules in the life sciences. After obtaining his PhD in the field of fluorescence spectroscopy from the University of Strathclyde, he held several post-doctoral positions in biology, chemistry and physics departments, mostly at Imperial College London, working on fluorescence microscopy and the development of photon counting techniques. Professor Suhling joined King’s College London in 2003 and was a Lecturer and a Reader before being promoted to Professor of Physics in 2014.

Research
