As a materials scientist, I am fascinated by the emerging order within seemingly chaotic mediums and intrigued by local textures. I am particularly interested in modern dielectric materials, primarily perovskites, in which intrinsic electric dipole moments can correlate over short distances or timescales and often form intricate topological nanoscale patterns. My research focuses on understanding […]

The core of my scientific interests is the development of tools for structural analysis based on three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED) data. This technique allows the determination of crystal structures from extremely small crystals, which makes it attractive in a broad range of scientific disciplines. At the same time, structure analysis by this technique is […]

Our research is focused on the experimental investigation of light-emitting color centres in diamonds with potential applications in photonics and sensing. Using the tools of ultrafast and low-temperature spatially resolved photoluminescence techniques, the optical properties of diamond color centres are studied. The goal of our research is to understand the fundamental physical properties responsible for […]

Our research expertise and experience are related to liquid crystalline compounds and their physical properties, we concentrate on various systems with dipole ordering, monomers and/or polymers. We are preparing and pursuing hybrid nanocomposites based on nanoparticles with organic molecules attached to their surface as ligands. We study liquid crystals admixed with inorganic nanoparticles (magnetic, ferroelectric, […]

I am involved in the wavelength conversion of the high-average power lasers either into shorter or longer wavelengths. The lasers, we deal with, are based on a Yb-doped medium, typically Yb:YAG. The emission wavelength is 1030 nm. The gain medium in the form of thin-disk or cryogenically cooled multi-slab allows efficient heat extraction from the […]

Terahertz spectra encode information on charge transport on nanoscale distances. In the past, we have developed both experimental and theoretical frameworks oriented on the understanding of the linear response and its relation to the charge transport in large ensembles of nano-objects https://doi.org/10.1002/adom.201900623. Several new directions are nowadays explored in our group, including the following […]

My main interest is research and development of new radiation tolerant semiconductor detectors for experiments on very high luminosity colliders. Since 2009, I have been a member of the international ATLAS R&D group „Development of n-in-p silicon sensors for very high radiation environment“, which developed in cooperation with the Japanese company Hamamatsu a radiation-hard strip […]

Ultrafast laser or particle irradiation of materials plays an important role in both, fundamental and applied sciences. Understanding of basic phenomena in the physics of solids, nonequilibrium kinetics, and matter at extreme conditions, benefits from experiments accessing the natural time window of the involved processes (femtosecond timescales) such as electron kinetics, electron-ion (electron-phonon) coupling, and […]

My main professional interest is the top quark physics. I’m working on ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and contributed to various analyses studying top quark, e.g., the measurement of a subtle effect in the production of top quark pair, so called ‚charge asymmetry‘, the measurement of differential cross-sections using highly […]

DNA-based structural nanotechnology holds unique opportunities to build oligonucleotide nanostructures with tightly controlled size, shape, and surface functionality. Such remarkable molecular control over DNA nanostructures (DNs) enables construction of complex 3D structures with nanometer precision. Studies on the cell uptake and processing of nanomaterials are predominantly performed on tissue culture plastics or glass coverslips, which […]
