Experimental physicist with a solid background in nuclear instrumentation and development of state‑of‑the‑art ionizing radiation detectors via exciton driven luminescence phenomena. Proven ability to transfer knowledge and connect broad areas of scientific research going from high energy physics, lasers & optics to emerging nanotechnologies.

I investigate the mechanisms and dynamics of exciton luminescence in semiconductor nanocrystals and wide band gap dielectric materials. Currently, I am probing the efficiency of biexcitonic emission in 2D semiconductors as a potential solution for ultrafast radiation detectors and the role of self-trapped-excitons as a memory mechanism in inorganic crystals.

In the autumn semester I am teaching Experimental Physics 3. This is a bachelor course where the students are learning the basics of ionizing radiation interaction with matter and performing interesting experiments using state-of-the-art instrumentation. 

As an activity close to my research projects, I supervise bachelor, master and PhD students and work in close collaboration with two other professors at Aarhus University forming the Light and Matter research group. With support from Novo and DFF, I am in the process of setting up and building my lab called Exciton lab, where excitons are examined for both, fundamental and applied purposes.
