QMD welcomes new PhD student Ethan Levenson
Ethan joined the QMD group as a PhD student in September. He will be investigating the dynamics of Mott insulators in the context of Research Unit OPTIMAL.
QMD welcomes new Post Doc Dr. Justas Deveikis
Justas recently received his PhD from the University of Warwick. He will join PhD students Zia Macdermid and Dimitrios Sapalidis in our effort to study quantum material dynamics in extreme conditions, using THz spectroscopy in a high pressure sample environment.
Beamtime at SOLEIL Synchrotron facility for the investigation of the THz and IR response of Mott insulators as a function of pressure and temperature
QMD group successfully completed a ten-days beamtime at SOLEIL synchrotron facility in France to explore the phase transitions of two Mott insulators: Cr-doped V2O3 and GaTa4Se8 under varying pressure and temperature.
QMD welcomes new PhD student Sophie Bamert
Sophie is starting her PhD this August, working on the 2D THz (pump-probe) spectroscopy project investigating highly anisotropic spin ladder systems.
QMD Welcomes Post Doc Dr. Nina Bielinski
Nina recently recieved her PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In our group she will be working on investigating potential pathways to superconductivity in quasi-1D spin-ordered ladder systems through photoexcitation. We are excited to welcome her!
The QMD group Joins exciting collaboration: OPTIMAL
The QMD group is part OPTIMAL ("Optical Control of Quantum Materials"), a new Research Unit of the DFG.
QMD welcomes new PhD student Dimitrios Sapalidis
Dimitrios is starting his PhD this September, working on the THz time-domain spectroscopy under high pressure research project. The main focus will be the investigation of the equilibrium and non-equilibrium phase transitions of charge density wave systems and multiferroics.
Prof. Abreu wins Ultrafast science global award
Elsa Abreu won the second prize in the 2nd Women in Ultrafast Science Global Award for her work on THz driven dynamics in spin-ladders. This global award recognizes women scientists worldwide, working on ultrafast science at any stage of their independent careers.
