Academia & Research

I studied physics at the Bielefeld University and received my PhD during my time as research assistant at the Center for Spinelectronic Materials and Devices. My research focused on the production and investigation of topological insulators. Special attention was paid to hybrid structures of these materials to conventional superconductors, under which circumstances exotic phenomena such as topological superconductivity and Majorana fermions were predicted.
