On May 15th we celebrated the Cum-Laude graduation of Lian de Jong. Lian has worked over the past year on her master’s thesis titled “Strong light-matter coupling in P3HT-C60 organic photovoltaic cells”. In this work, she has shown that it is possible to improve the internal quantum efficiency of organic materials in solar cells by…

We congratulate Stan for the successful defense of his thesis on May 26th.
Please, send an e-mail to j.gomez.rivas at tue.nl if you would like to receive a copy of this thesis.
The EU H2020-pathfinder proposal SCOLED has been awarded. In this project, we will develop nanophotonic OLEDs together with researchers from Aalto University (Prof. Törma), Turku University (Dr. Daskalakis), The University of Exeter (Prof. Barnes), and The Autonoma University of Madrid (Dr. Feist).
We congratulate Gabi for the successful defense of his thesis “Controlling Light-Matter Interactions in Silicon Metasurfaces”, which was defended in Eindhoven on October 6th.
Using a unique optical pump-THz near-field microscopy, we have measured the sheet conductance in WS2 micro-crystals despite their small size compared to the wavelength of THz radiation. Read more here.
Using an evolutionary method, we have simulated the optimum parameters of nanoparticles in arrays for maximum light absorption in organic solar cells. Read more here.
In collaboration with Kyoto University (Japan) and CSIC (Spain), we have demonstrated BICs in non-Bravais lattices of Si nanoparticles. These BICs are designed at telecom wavelengths. You can read more here.
In collaboration with the group of Andrea Baldi at the Vrij Universiteit in Amsterdam, we have demonstrated a world record sensitivity in H2 detection by an evolutionary design of a nanoparticle sensor. You can read more here.
In collaboration with our start-up company TeraNova B.V., we have introduced a method to determine critical parameters in periodic optical structures over large areas and with nanometer resolution. You can read more here.
