Andreas received his PhD for his work in polymer photophysics and applications. Following a short spell at Caltech, he spent three years as a postdoctoral scholar at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (Switzerland). Prior to joining the University of Idaho in October 2014, he was at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory investigating metabolism at the single cell level.
