Congrats to Jakob Hüpfl for defending his PhD thesis “Information in Scattered Light – From optical cooling to Fisher-information flow and decoherence”. Many thanks go to the external reviewers Allard Mosk (Utrecht) and Klaus Hornberger (Duisburg-Essen). All the best to Jakob for his postdoctoral appointment in Florian Marquardt’s group at the MPI for the Science of Light!
Today Oliver Diekmann successfully defended his PhD thesis on “Controlling Pulsed Quantum Emission: From State Transfer to Superradiance” – congratulations! The external reviewers were Sasha Puddubny from the Weizmann Institute and Andreas Nunnenkamp from the University of Vienna – many thanks go to them for their assessment of the thesis.
Marlene Hudler and David Fürlinger successfully defended their master theses with exciting results on spatiotemporal focusing with the Floquet scattering matrix and on matrix imaging for ultrasound localization microscopy – congratulations!
David successfully defended his PhD thesis on the Floquet scattering matrix today – congratulations! Many thanks go to our external examinations Emanuele Galiffi (Austin, US) and Henning Schomerus (Lancaster, UK) for evaluating the thesis.
Helmut Hörner successfully defended his PhD on “Spectrally and Spatially Degenerate Coherent Perfect Absorbers and a Renormalization-Free Model for Casimir Forces” – congratulations! Many thanks go to Li Ge (CUNY) and Tsampikos Kottos (Wesleyan) for serving as referees for the thesis. Li even made it all the way from NY City to be there in person for the defense (see photo).
Lukas Rachbauer successfully defended his PhD thesis on “Classical and Quantum Waves in Complex Environments” – congratulations! Many thanks go to Ben Stickler (from Ulm University) and Thomas Juffmann (from the University of Vienna) for serving as external referees and examinators.
Kevin Pichler successfully defended his PhD thesis on “Generalized Application and Time-Reversal of the Lasing Principle” – congratulations! Many thanks go to Lorenzo Pavesi and Alex Krasnok for serving as external referees.
Alexander Schumer successfully defended his PhD thesis on “Exceptional Physics near non-Hermitian Degeneracies” – congratulations! Many thanks go to Ulf Peschel and Iacopo Carusotto for serving as external referees.
Michael Horodynski successfully defended his PhD thesis on “Scattering in Complex Environments: Theory, Wavefront Shaping and System Design” – congratulations! Many thanks also to Owen Miller and Frank Scheffold for serving as external referees.
Elena Redchenko from Johannes Fink’s group at IST Austria successfully defended her PhD – congratulations! The experiment she carried out based on theoretical suggestions from our group will be presented in a joint publication that is currently in preparation.
