PD Dr. Gregor Koblmüller
Academic Career and Research Areas
PD Dr. Gregor Koblmüller (b. 1974) studied Technical Physics at the Technical University of Vienna where he also obtained his Doctorate degree in Experimental Solid State Physics in 2005. He then conducted research as a postdoctoral fellow on high-efficiency nitride semiconductors at the Materials Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Since 2009 he heads the “Semiconductor Quantum Nanomaterials” Group at the Walter Schottky Institut and Physics Department at TUM, where he obtained his habilitation in 2017.
PD Dr. Gregor Koblmüller explores innovative semiconductor nano- and quantum systems, with potential applications in nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, quantum technologies and energy conversion. His research interfaces solid-state physics, materials science and electrical engineering, and aims to establish fundamental understanding between device functionality of complex nano- and quantum-devices and the distinct properties of their underlying synthesized quantum heterostructures. Together with his group he currently develops quantum nanowire based photonic integrated circuits as a novel platform for future on-chip optical interconnects and quantum communication.
