Semiconductor Physics Group

 

Wladislaw completed his A-levels at the Holbein-Gymnasium in Augsburg, Germany. He did the Bachelor's degree in Physics at the University of Augsburg, where he studied the interaction of surface-acoustic waves with two-dimensional layers of transition metal dichalcogenides. At the Walter Schottky Institute of the Technical University of Munich Wladislaw completed his Master studies, where he studied photoluminescence of InGaAs quantum dots, with the idea of using trapped charges in them as qubits. His PhD studies in Physics he has done at the Cavendish Laboratory, investigating the interaction of Terahertz radiation with semiconductor nanostructures and quantum systems. Currently, he is a Junior Research Fellow at Trinity College, working in the Semiconductor Physics Group.

Research Interests

Terahertz radiation, semiconductors, quantum dots, two-dimensional electron gases, photoluminescence spectroscopy, low-temperature physics, novel materials, surface acoustic waves
