SCIAS-Fellow Jacob Krich visits the Brixner group
06/06/2024We welcome Prof. Jacob Krich from Ottawa as a Visiting Scholar at our Institute.
The theoretical physicist Prof. Jacob Krich has been visiting the Chair of Physical Chemistry I as a Visiting Scholar since the beginning of June as part of a sabbatical. He studied mathematics as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University and received his doctorate from Harvard University in 2009, where he was a Ziff Environmental Fellow until 2011. He is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Physics at the University of Ottawa in Canada. His research interests include advanced photovoltaics and nonlinear optical spectroscopy. His research stay at the group of Prof. Brixner will last until July 12.
Last year, together with the groups of Prof. Brixner and Prof. Lambert, he published a paper in the renowned scientific journal “Nature” which solves the decade-long problem of separating single and multiple excitations by light and thus serves as an important basis for the “IMPACTS” project, which has been funded by the ERC since June 1. Further close collaboration is therefore firmly planned. The Siebold-Collegium Institute for Advanced Studies (SCIAS) will award the title of “SCIAS Fellow” to Jacob Krich in a guest lecture, which is primarily aimed at non-experts, on June 20, 2024 at 6 p.m. in the Welz-Haus of the university. He will also give a lecture in the colloquium of the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry on June 17, 2024 at 1:15 pm in lecture hall D.
