Associate Professor, Quantum Device Physics Lab

At the Quantum Device Physics Laboratory (QDP), we exploit the charge, spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom in materials that we design and produce, to explore fundamental questions in condensed matter physics and to develop new concepts in device physics. Our research covers a variety of topics at the forefront of condensed matter physics, extending from ab-initio calculations to experiments with nanodevices consisting of emerging 2D materials and van der Waals heterostructures, topological Dirac and Weyl materials, semiconductors, oxide heterostructures, nanomagnets, and superconductors. Our mission is to develop next generation quantum devices, which can be smaller, faster, sensitive, and energy-efficient for a sustainable society. Applications and utilization of our research can be found in quantum metrology, topological quantum technology, thermoelectrics, quantum theory, radio astronomy, medical instrumentation, and spintronics. Our teaching covers undergraduates, MSc and specialized PhD courses and includes general physics, condensed matter physics, nanoscience and nanofabrication, semiconductor and superconducting physics, to name a few.
