Congratulations to Elias and Ronny on successfully completing their apprenticeships as Physics Laboratory Technician VET and achieving the Federal Vocational Baccalaureate (Engineering, Architecture, Life Sciences)! We're proud of your accomplishments and excited to see what you'll achieve in the future.

Welcome to our new Physics Laboratory Technician apprentices, Lucia and Miro! We're excited to have you join our team. We hope you'll enjoy your time here and learn a lot during your apprenticeship. Best wishes for a successful and enjoyable experience!

We are delighted to welcome Rasmus to our Nanomaterials Spectroscopy and Imaging group. We wish him a successful and enjoyable stay as he investigates the synthesis-structure-function relations of inorganic chalcogenide perovskites.

This month, a warm welcome to our two new team members from Spain who will be working with Mira Dimitrievska!

Welcome to Angel, who already has a strong foundation in our lab after completing his Master's thesis here. He's now excited to continue his research journey with us by pursuing his PhD.

Axel: Welcome to Axel, a PhD student in his final year and academic guest with us, who will be researching the application of Raman spectroscopy to solar cells.

Congratulations to Dr. Kara on successfully defending your PhD thesis "Hybrid Phototransistors: Understanding the IR Photoactive Interface"!

Welcome to Sophie Hardmeier, who is working on her master thesis project on chemical effects on blood clots using nanoscale analytics, under the supervision of Peter Nirmalraj.

Welcome to Alex Weitnauer, who is working on his master project on Flexible THz Detectors from Twisted Bilayer Graphene, under the supervision of Eleni Mavrona.

Welcome to Peter in our Lab!

We hope you enjoy your PhD time with us =)

Dr Mirjana Dimitrievska joins the laboratory as a new group leader on Optical Spectroscopy and Imaging within the Transport at Nanoscale Interfaces Lab.

Frederik Van Veen just joined our Quantum Device team to work for his PhD on Prof. Dr. Mickael Perrin's ERC project, developing a particle exchange heat engine. Welcome to the lab!

Congratulations to Dr. Mickael Perrin for being appointed as Assistant Professor of Low-​dimensional Quantum Electronics in the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineeringat ETH Zürich! See also the Empa news.

Welcome to Christian! With his background in mechanical engineering and experience in MEMS manufacturing, Christian joins our project on Sub-Wavelength Holographic Lithography (SWHL).

Congratulations to Dr. Synhaivska to your successful Ph.D. defense today, entitled “Sensing metal ions-peptide and protein interfacial interactions”. =)

Three IRC projects have been granted today. The titles are: "Gate-Defined Quantum Confinement in Magic-Angle Twisted Bilayer Graphene", "Agile Robots for Tomorrow's Lab" and "Towards Metamaterial Quantum Dot Hybrids for Mechanically Tuneable Infrared Detectors"

Alessia Romio from Polytecnico di Milano joined our lab for her masterproject "Vertical hetero-structures for organic electronics" with Jacopo Oswald. Welcome to our group and we wish you a joyful and productive winter-time :-)
