Jochen Feldmann

Jochen Feldmann (born August 3, 1961 in Olpe ) is a German physicist and professor at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich .

Life

Feldmann studied physics at the Philipps University in Marburg . He received his doctorate in 1990 on the subject of short-term dynamics of electronic excitations in semiconductor heterostructures . He then went to the AT&T Bell Laboratories in Holmdel ( New Jersey ) as a postdoctoral fellow , where he experimentally demonstrated Bloch oscillations for the first time . He then completed his habilitation on the subject of coherent dynamics of optically generated wave packets in semiconductor heterostructures . For this work he received a. a. the Walter Schottky Prize of the German Physical Society (DPG) .

In 1995 Feldmann accepted a professorship at the Ludwig Maximilians University (LMU) in Munich and since then has been a full professor of the chair for photonics and optoelectronics. In 2001 he received the highest endowed German research award, the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Award of the German Research Foundation (DFG), and in 2011 the highest endowed European research award, the Advanced Investigator Grant of the European Research Council (ERC). He was also awarded the Cross of Merit on Ribbon of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Feldmann is one of the founders of the Center for NanoScience (CeNS) and initiated the Bavarian research network Solar Technologies Go Hybrid (SolTech) in 2012. From 2005 to 2007 he was Vice-Rector for Research at the Ludwig Maximilians University (LMU) in Munich and from 2007 to 2015 coordinator of the Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM) research cluster , which was funded as part of the Excellence Initiative of the federal and state governments. He was visiting professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder and at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). He received several calls and offers from other universities and research institutions.

Services

Feldmann is concerned with the optical properties of nanostructured material systems. He has published groundbreaking research on optical spectroscopy on semiconductor heterostructures and colloidal nanocrystals . He is considered one of the pioneers in the field of plasmonics with metallic nanoparticles . In addition to widely acclaimed publications, in particular on excitonic and plasmonic lifetimes, Bloch oscillations , plasmonic biosensors , photocatalysis with nanocrystals and 2D materials made from perovskites , his chair also successfully found a company (GNA Biosolutions).

The main research areas of his chair are the production and spectroscopic characterization of novel colloidal nanosystems , especially for applications in the field of energy conversion with light. In addition, hybrid nanosystems are specifically being developed in order to study new types of sensory, diagnostic and therapeutic processes on individual cells by optical means.
