Extremely happy to start my Emmy Noether project 'Luminescence Upconversion NAnoscopy - LUNA'. The German Research Foundation (DFG) will support us with more than €2.1 million for the next six years in two project phases. In the LUNA project, we will develop approaches to combine infrared with visible nanophotonics, with the aim to efficiently convert light between these spectral ranges on the nanoscale. This will involve experiments with phonon polaritons, excitons, and color centers in solid-state materials, employing near-field optical microscopy and advanced nonlinear optical techniques. 

Big thanks to everyone who supported me during the preparation of the proposal and to all present and past collaborators!
