Welcome to our group page!
We are part of the PhotoConversion Materials Section in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam. Currently, our group is also partially based at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany.
We are an interdisciplinary team of researchers from physics, chemistry, and materials science backgrounds working together to understand and optimize light-matter interactions in excitonic materials for optoelectronic, photocatalytic, and sensing applications.
