Richarda NiemannVanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA _______________________________________ As the application spaces enabled by hBN due to its exemplary material properties, research towards new growth methods is also continuing to expand. By now, a variety of techniques exist to grow bulk hBN crystals, as well as thin multi- and monolayer films [1]. In the case of…
Atac Imamoglu
Professor of Physics, ETH Zurich
Atac Imamoglu received his PhD in 1991 from Stanford University for his work on electromagnetically induced transparency. After an ITAMP postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University, he joined University of California, Santa Barbara as an assistant professor where he demonstrated the first solid-state single-photon source. In 2002, he moved to the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich, where he leads the Quantum Photonics group. His research focuses on quantum optics of two dimensional materials, with a strong emphasis on optical spectroscopy of strongly correlated electrons in van der Waals heterostructures.
