Our research investigates how functional materials respond to ultrashort light pulses, revealing electronic and magnetic dynamics from attoseconds to picoseconds. By connecting coherent light–matter interactions with subsequent energy dissipation and transport processes, we aim to uncover microscopic principles for designing faster and more efficient optoelectronic and spintronic technologies. 

We welcome applications for Master/Bachelor theses. A background in chemistry, physics or material science is typically required for our research.
