I am interested in the subject of string field theory – a formulation of string theory characterized by fields which satisfy fundamental field equations, somewhat analogous (and generalizing) the electric and magnetic fields which satisfy Maxwell’s equations. In this formalism, I hope to get a better understanding of background independence in string theory: a consistent […]

The potential mentor can provide guiding in the areas of near-field and guided wave optics, plasmonics, biointerfaces, amplification strategies in optical spectroscopy, and biomolecular interaction analysis. Therefore, the topic of the project should preferably relate to combined aspects of nanophotonics, (bio)materials research applied in optical sensors and biosensors, or to light management in thin film […]

In my scientific work I am interested in advanced interdisciplinary research in innovative coating technologies, biomedical applications, advanced materials, and optical techniques. My research includes advanced physical methods in both modern industry and life sciences, novel applications of spectroscopic ellipsometry, and optical studies of phase transformations in solids, polymers, and biomaterials. I also investigate low […]

The scientific research of our group is oriented on optoelectronic processes in carbon-based materials. Namely the mostly studied material is diamond in various forms (bulk, nanocrystalline, nanocrystals) and its interaction with polymers. The aim is to enhance knowledge on the processes occurring at microscopic interfaces. Our approach is based on advanced variants of atomic force […]

Nonequilibrium thermodynamic states of matter generated by the action of ultrashort laser pulses on bandgap materials, semiconductors and dielectrics, are still scantily explored and poorly understood. Deep insight into ultrafast laser-induced phenomena is of high importance for both fundamental physics and control over material evolution for various practical applications. The deterministic modification of materials to […]

Time-resolved mass spectrometric and spectroscopic investigations of plasmas produced by temporally and spatially shaped laser pulses will be performed. Laser-ablation plasma is the key topic of research in my group Nanomaterials, Department of Scientific Laser Applications. These studies are important for both understanding the material behavior under extreme conditions of high-power laser irradiation and for […]
