We are happy to annonce that on November 20th, 2025, our next seminar talk will be given by Professor Alexey Chernikov about “Optically detected transport in low-dimensional semiconductors”.

Alexey Chernikov is a physicist at Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden), where he holds a W3‐professorship for Ultrafast Microscopy and Photonics. He earned his PhD at Philipps‑Universität Marburg in Germany, then worked as a Feodor-Lynen fellow at Columbia University in New York studying Coulomb phenomena in atomically thin two-dimensional systems. From 2016 to 2021 he led an Emmy-Noether research group at Universität Regensburg before joining TU Dresden in 2021.
In his research he investigates ultrafast processes of quasiparticles (such as excitons) in atomically thin nanocrystals, aiming to visualise and control their motion and interactions — with potential applications in lasers, sensors, solar cells and quantum technologies.

We are looking forward to his talk.
