Research Overview

News

Apr 19, 2024 We just held the first CECAM School in “Ab Initio Quantum Electrodynamics for Quantum Materials Engineering” in Lausanne. It won’t be the last!
Apr 9, 2024 I will be coordinating SPARKLE - a Marie Curie Doctoral network which will train 14 PhD students across Europe on Polaritonic Materials. Stay tuned for new positions!
Mar 1, 2024 Happy to announce that I have secured a Max Planck Partner Group agreement with the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg!
Dec 5, 2022 Glad to start as a tenure track Assistant Professor at the Technical university of Denmark!
