Quantum Materials

Physicist Christian Schneider appointed

Dr. Christian Schneider has been appointed Professor of Quantum Materials at the Institute of Physics. He previously headed a research group at the University of Würzburg, for which he received a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).

Schneider studied physics and nanotechnology in Würzburg and at the University of British Colombia in Vancouver, Canada. After completing his PhD in Würzburg in 2012, he headed the spectroscopy group at the Chair of Technical Physics. He completed his Habilitation in 2019.

In 2016 Schneider was awarded an ERC Starting Grant of 1.5 million euros for his project ”unlimit2D”. The project runs until 2022, and Schneider will continue it in Oldenburg. The focus of the research is interaction mechanisms between light and matter in innovative quantum materials just one atomic layer thick. The physicist aims to create novel light sources, quantum conditions and highly efficient lasers.
