Transport at Nanoscale Interfaces Laboratory
Our interdisciplinary team gathers physicists, materials scientists, (bio-) chemists, and engineers focusing on bringing novel materials to devices. We are interested in understanding the fundamental electronic, optoelectronic, thermal and ionic transport processes involved in atomically-precise nanostructures and low-dimensional materials. The heterogeneous integration of novel nanomaterials requires custom-made methods for nanoscale patterning and interfaces nanostructuring. Overall, we strive to master the chain of competences leading from designer materials with tailored quantum properties to devices with targeted application in information & quantum technology, energy conversion & storage as well as biochemical sensing & diagnostics.

This month, a warm welcome to our two new team members from Spain who will be working with Mira Dimitrievska!
Welcome to Angel, who already has a strong foundation in our lab after completing his Master's thesis here. He's now excited to continue his research journey with us by pursuing his PhD.
Axel: Welcome to Axel, a PhD student in his final year and academic guest with us, who will be researching the application of Raman spectroscopy to solar cells.
