August 2008 – December 2010
CV
In 2001, he joined the theoretical physics group at the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at the TU Delft as a postdoctoral fellow. Afterwards, in 2003, he worked as invited scientist at the NTT Basic Research Laboratories in Atsugi, Japan, in the Superconducting Quantum Physics Research Group. In the same year, he joined the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf as a scientific assistant (assistant professor). During this time, he qualified for the habilitation and received the venia legendi in January 2006. He worked as invited scientist again at the NTT Basic Research Labs in Atsugi in 2005 and at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen in 2008.
In 2008, he joined the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) at the Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, where he holds a junior research fellow position and leads an independent junior research group.
His interests focus on theoretical condensed matter physics, in particular, quantum nanostructures in incoherent environments (molecular quantum transport, nonequilibrium transport), quantum coherence and entanglement in biomolecules and polymers and nanoelectromechanical properties of molecules.
