Functional materials tackle the challenges by facilitating energy generation, storage and conversion from renewable sources, thereby providing a path towards a sustainable energy infrastructure, for example in solar harvesting, solid state lighting or information technologies. My research interest targets breakthroughs in material discovery for disruptive energy technologies. I study a powerful interdisciplinary approach, which combines in-house design and synthesis of tailored materials with advanced spectroscopic characterization of their dynamic processes. This powerful combination facilitates ground-breaking advances in material functionality, while also opening fascinating new avenues to explore fundamental physical phenomena with relevance for energy applications.
