Research
Our research covers a range of exciting topics in theoretical condensed matter physics and optics. In many of our projects, we use light as a probing tool to gain insight into excitation dynamics and optical properties of nanometer scale structures on ultrafast (femtosecond) timescales. Beyond pure basic research, we use our understanding of nonlinear light-matter interaction to envision strategies for novel light manipulation schemes such as in all-optical switches and quantum-light sources.
In addition to our own work, we are embedded in a stimulating local research environment and work closely with a number of leading groups around the world.
