Arbeit an der ZHAW

Arbeits- und Forschungsschwerpunkte

Molekulare Licht-Materie-Interaktion: Entwicklung von Theorie und Simulationsmethoden, um molekulare Eigenschaften mithilfe optischer Resonatoren gezielt zu verändern. Dadurch lassen sich beispielsweise chemische Reaktionen steuern, Materialeigenschaften modifizieren oder Phasenübergänge auslösen. Trotz verschiedener experimenteller Durchbrüche stehen derzeit keine verlässlichen Simulationsmethoden zur Verfügung. Diese sind jedoch unverzichtbar für zukünftige industrielle Anwendungen.
