Mission

The Feldmann Lab combines ultrafast magneto-chiroptical spectroscopy and materials chemistry to transform the way we produce and consume energy as a society.

For this, we explore the concept of symmetry breaking in novel soft semiconductors and nanomaterials to control charge, spin and light with these printable materials.

We work on uncovering the design rules to enable the next generation of cheap, efficient and flexible solar cells & ultra-bright displays, and unlock entirely new applications in quantum information technology.
