The Light-2D matter-Interaction group explores the interaction between light and 2D materials, and the physical and optical phenomena they inhabit. The group utilizes several experimental techniques to perform room-temperature and low-temperature electro-optical spectroscopy, from the visible to the far-infrared spectrum. In addition, the group develops robust optical methods specifically adapted to 2D material and their atomic dimension. Doing so allows to study the extraordinary properties of 2D materials, to push nanophotonics into the atomic scale, and to build atomic-scale electronic and opto-electronic devices.

My interests lie at the interface between ultrafast optics and quantum materials: optical coupling to topological states of matter, and electronic dynamics in quantum materials.
My group investigates the light-matter interactions in quantum materials using ultrafast time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES) and explores how non-linear optical processes manifest in the topological electronic bands. In particular, the possibilities of photocurrent generation – a nonlinear optical process where light absorbed in a material induces a current flow - are explored.
