Our Research

How can we create a more sustainable future? How can we drastically increase the speed of electronics? These questions motivate our research. In the Ultrafast Electronics and Nanophotonics group, we use ultrashort light flashes for fundamental studies and applications in catalysis, chemical transformations on nanoparticles and related health impact of wildfires, and light-controlled materials for applications in quantum computing and petahertz electronics. Our group's multi-disciplinary research provides a stimulating environment for students, postdocs, and staff. Enjoy our website!
