Tim Suter succesfully defended his PhD thesis titled "Broadband terahertz time-domain spectroscopy for high-pressure material studies". Congratulations Tim!
Tim will be continuing in our group for some months to complete his project.
Max Geniets and Luca Titze completed their QMD group semester projects on "Phonon-Polariton Nonlinearities in Ferroelectric LiNbO3" and "Static Terahertz Time-Domain-Spectroscopy on Silicone Oil Under Pressure," respectively. Sascha Frei also completed his QMD-affiliated semester project on "Development and Characterization of an Optical Pump-Probe Setup Studying Femtosecond Laser Processing" at the Paul Scherrer Institute, co-supervised by Dr. Larissa Boie.
Zekai Chen has succesfully defended his masters thesis titled 'Terehertz time-domain spectroscpy in a diamond anvil cell'. He has since recieved an offer to begin his PhD in the laboratory of multiferroic materials at ETHZ. We wish him all the best!
