Research

My research interest is located in the area of optical and transport properties of semiconductor nanostructures, which includes optical spectroscopy and magnetotransport measurements of nanoparticles and self-assembled quantum dots and perspectives for future (quantum) devices. Within this area, I am interested in time-resolved transport measurements of quantum dots interaction with a two-dimensional electron or hole gas. This is of fundamental interest to study non-equillibrium electron and hole states in such zero-dimensional nano-objects as well as testing the limits of future nanomemories.

Projects
