Transport at Nanoscale Interfaces Laboratory

Oct 01, 2025 Welcome to the Team, Paulina and Elena!

We’re happy to welcome Paulina Novakowska and Elena Mavrona to our lab!
Paulina joins us as a Ph.D. student, working with Mickael on thermopower in graphene nanoribbon quantum dotsElena returns as an Entrepreneur Fellow, leading the start-up company Lepto. We're thrilled to have them both on board!

Welcome

 


Sept 15, 2025 Welcome to the Team, Lara, Nora, and Piraven!

We’re delighted to welcome three new members to our lab!
Lara Linke joins as a master’s student working with Mira on quasi-1D materials. Nora Oelhafen is conducting her bachelor project on thermopower in graphene nanoribbon quantum dots with Mickael. Piraven Manoharan joins as a guest student, focusing on DFT calculations of charge and heat transport through carbon nanotubes, also with Mickael. We’re happy to have them all on board!

We’re delighted to welcome Caroline to our lab! Coming from Zurich, she is pursuing her master’s degree in electrical engineering at ETH Zurich. During her semester thesis at Empa, Caroline will work on h-BN encapsulation of graphene nanoribbons for nanoelectronic device applications. We’re happy to have her with us!

Welcome

Hi! I’m Caroline, and I come from Zurich. I completed my bachelor‘s degree in electrical engineering at ETH Zurich, and am currently pursuing my master‘s degree there as well. I’m excited to do my semester thesis at Empa, where I‘m working on h-BN encapsulation of Graphene Nanoribbons for nanoelectronic devices.
