We explore light-matter coupling phenomena in nanoscale materials. Our research focuses on experimental nanophotonics, bridging phenomena in the typically separate mid-infrared and visible spectral ranges. Currently, we are establishing a laboratory that will employ nonlinear optical microscopy techniques to investigate structure-property relationships in quantum materials with nanoscale spatial resolution.

Our goal is to advance the understanding of interfaces in two-dimensional van der Waals materials, activate new coupling channels to convert light between spectral ranges, and engineer materials through hybrid light-matter states. We closely collaborate with research groups at the department and the neighboring Fritz Haber Institute.

If you’re interested in getting involved, please get in touch — we’re always excited to welcome new team members.
