We have an opening for an exciting PhD position: design and demonstrate new nanophotonic metasurfaces to improve the visual appearance of solar panels in urban environments! Find the full project description on the UvA website.

Check out the latest issue of Nano Letters, which features our recent publication on temperature-dependent wavefront manipulation by excitons on the cover!

Our latest paper is out now in Nano Letters! In this work, we show how excitonic light scattering controls the efficiency of the thinnest lens on the planet, and highlight the role of exciton-phonon coupling in the optical efficiency at low temperatures.

We have openings for both an exciting PhD position as well as a challenging 3-year postdoc position: studying and leveraging exciton resonances in monolayer 2D semiconductors to realize actively-tunable and multifunctional 2D metasurfaces! Find the full project description on the UvA website here: PhD, postdoc.

Congratulations Tom and Bernardo!!

Check out our recent paper in Nature Photonics where we combine plasmonic Purcell enhancement of exciton radiation with the electrically tunable quantum efficiency of monolayer WS₂ to demonstrate an 2D excitonic metasurface that functions as a free-space optical modulator!
