My research at the MPL has a focus on solid-state quantum optics. After having gained first knowledge on the generation of single-photons using semiconductor quantum dots in the research group of Pascale Senellart in Paris, I now expand it to single and coupled molecules. In my PhD my main research objective is to generate non-classical light using coherently coupled molecular dimers.

After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Physics in the very cool and green city of Jena, I decided to start the international Master of Photonics in Jena as well. Since I really wanted to do two semesters abroad during my studies, I chose to combine them with my Master’s thesis. As it was clear to me that I wanted to specialize in photonic quantum technologies, I decided to join Pascale Senellart’s research group in Paris. There, I worked on a new quantum key distribution approach using quantum dot single photon sources. After having finished my Master's thesis in Paris, I moved to Erlangen to join the Sandoghdar division at the MPL. Here, I closely work with Prof. Stephan Götzinger on the generation of non-classical light using coherently coupled molecular dimers.
