Born in 1967, Dagmar Behmer has an MSc degree in Analytical Chemistry and is today Marketing Manager of the NIR & Process Technology department of Bruker Optics in Germany.
She started her professional career as a QC manager in the GC lab of a multinational specialty gas company, followed by an appointment in the United Kingdom, where she ran a QC lab as the senior manager of Analytical Services. In 2000, she joined Bruker Optics, the leading manufacturer and worldwide supplier of Fourier Transform Near-Infrared spectrometers.
Her affection for edible oil applications and olive oil, in particular, began with a business trip to Andalusia, where she supported the local office with the implementation of NIR spectrometers to olive oil mills. Ever since then, she collected a large amount of data for various analysis parameters in the field of edible oils and fats and has established multiple co-operations in academia and industry. Today, she is looking back on more than 25 years of experience with NIR spectroscopy, focusing on food and agricultural applications.
