About
Harm Bartholomeus is a leading figure in the field of optical remote sensing and environmental spectroscopy. His research centers on the development of advanced instrumentation and novel spectroscopic techniques for monitoring the environment, with a particular focus on multi-angular measurements and luminescence thermometry. A major contribution is his work on the laboratory goniometer system, detailed in his highly cited 2012 paper (28 citations), which revolutionized the acquisition of multi-angular reflectance and emittance data by using a robotic arm to rapidly capture measurements across the full hemisphere under controlled conditions. This innovation has become a cornerstone for validating satellite data and improving land-surface modeling. More recently, Bartholomeus has pioneered the use of lanthanide-doped upconversion microparticles for remote environmental thermometry, as described in his 2025 paper. By leveraging their long luminescence lifetimes and narrowband spectra, he is developing non-toxic, stable sensors for in-vivo and environmental temperature mapping. His work bridges the gap between fundamental spectroscopy and practical, high-impact environmental monitoring tools.
