Correlations and dynamical screening with ab initio GW+EDMFT In this talk I will introduce the core ideas of ab initio GW+EDMFT, and review the first multi-tier implementations that made the method promising for a broad set of correlated materials (metals[1], Mott insulators[2], and semiconductors[3]). I will briefly mention how the ...more |

Experimental modelling of “single-atom” catalysts: What defines molecular adsorption on single-metal sites? “Single-atom” catalysis (SAC) presents a recent frontier in catalysis research, promising to lower our dependence on precious metals and improve the economic viability of carbon-neutral technologies. Countless SACs were reported over the past decade, but rational design remai ...more |

Control and detection of broken time-reversal symmetry and Berry curvature with nonlinear optics TMDs are an ideal platform to study the interplay between space-inversion and time-reversal symmetries, which can be independently engineered by tuning the number of layers (space-inversion) and via excitation with circularly polarized light (time-reversal). In this talk, I will ...more |

Near-field Raman Spectroscopy - via Apertures and Tips to Nanometer Resolution Over the last 40 years, near-field Raman spectroscopy has evolved from an ambitious extension of optical microscopy into a versatile approach for chemically specific analysis with nanometer-scale spatial resolution. This seminar will trace its development from the early days of a ...more |

Ultrafast Dynamics in Complex Molecular Systems: From Biomolecules to Strong Light Matter Interactions In my talk, I will give a broad overview on work of the group using ultrafast spectroscopy, mainly 2D-IR, and diffraction experiments at XFELs or with ultrafast electrons to study complex molecular systems from femtoseconds onwards.
Examples will include biophysical studies o ...more |

Predicting Protein Allostery, the "Second Secret of Life” Proteins are remarkable mesoscopic objects: a few thousand atoms, adopting a highly irregular and marginally stable three-dimensional structure, whose biological function emerges from collective fluctuations across a rugged free-energy landscape. Allostery—the functional coupli ...more |

WALTzER - Wide-band Atmospheric Laboratory for Transiting Exoplanet Research I will present the science case and payload of WALTzER (Wide-band Atmospheric Laboratory for Transiting Exoplanet Research), which is an ESA F-class mission concept recently submitted to ESA's F3 call. The mission is designed to characterise the atmospheres of planets outside our ...more |

A New Spectroscopy of Atom–Surface Interactions and Ultrafast Control of Orbital Magnetism in Metallic Nanoparticles and Clusters In [1] we used a beam of very fast hydrogen atoms to study how they pass through a single layer of graphene, a sheet of carbon just one atom thick. When the atoms went through the graphene, they created clear diffraction patterns, much like how light passes through a fine grid to ...more |
