Ongoing research

PhD research (in collaboration with Uni. Witten-Herdecke D.) on the effect of heating and electromagnetic (GSM) radiation on D30 ultra high diluted and succussed homeopathic Tin preparations (nominal dilution of 10^-30 of the original substance). The first article has been published in which we report reproducible biological effects of the above mentioned preparation: Empirical investigation of preparations produced according to the European Pharmacopoeia monograph 1038.

GESTE project (Gestalt Evaluation and Structure Evaluation)
To what extent can an empathetic attitude in the visual evaluation of crystallisation images be used, strengthened and (scientifically) communicated? The first article of this project was published in 2018: Advanced panel training on visual Gestalt evaluation of biocrystallization images: ranking wheat samples from different extract decomposition stages and different production systems. In this article we demonstrate how a trained visual evaluation panel (standardized according to adapted ISO-norms of sensory panels) is able to systematically distinguish coded crystallisation images of wheat samples from conventional, organic and biodynamic origin, by means of an empathetic attitude. Apparently, upon ageing of the wheat extracts, the crystallisation images of biodynamic cultivation, and to a lesser extent of biological cultivation, are able to maintain their crystallisation structure better than wheat samples of conventional origin.

PROPAR Project (PROcesses and PARameters)
This project focuses on the further development of the crystallisation fingerprint method into a scientifically recognized method for assessing food quality. The first article of this project was published in 2019 and highlights the physical principle and preconditions of the crystallisation process. Read the article >

A second article focuses on the crystallisation pattern dependency on the BSA amount. Read the article >
