Abstract: Is the government funding system sufficiently supportive of the science needed for key breakthroughs?Does the system of funding encourage sufficient risk-taking to induce scientists to explore transformative research paths? 

Abstract: Colloidal semiconductor nanomaterials, such as quantum dots (QDs) and nanoplatelets (NPLs), are important materials for opto-electronic applications. They are already commercialized as phosphors in displays, and intensely investigated as active materials for e.g. LEDs, lasers and photodetectors.

Abstract: Fundamental energy research obviously differs from a more engineering and design type of research that is performed at the department of the Built Environment due to the nature of the domain. Yet we are closely linked since a large part of the energy demand comes from our buildings, a demand that is currently in transition.

Abstract: Semiconductor nanomaterials such as quantum dots, nanowires and two-dimensional materials are of interest for optoelectronic applications, including solar cells, photodetectors, LEDs, lasers and photocatalysis. We study electronic excited states (excitons), charge carriers and many-body complexes thereof.

Abstract: Advanced functional materials are at the core of chemistry and engineering research to address societal challenges related to health, energy, and sustainability.
