After completing her diploma in physics and her PhD at the Leibniz Universität Hannover, where she worked on an innovative project to develop a microlinear motor as part of the DFG’s Collaborative Research Center, she obtained her habilitation in microfluidics at the Technical University of Braunschweig in 2017. Among other things, she was a DFG (German Research Foundation) research fellow at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and has successfully led numerous research projects. With her international network, her numerous specialist publications – particularly in the development of microfluidic separation processes and sensor systems – she is widely recognized by her peers.

At BTU, Ruffert will offer innovative courses in the field of microsystems technology and microfluidics physics and incorporate her many years of experience in applied research and cooperation with industrial partners into her teaching. At Fraunhofer IPMS, her work on projects including predictive machine maintenance and the development of innovative sensor solutions enables her to closely link research at BTU with the needs of industry.
