RUN member Fabian Mooshammer has been awarded a grant by the Elite Network of Bavaria (ENB) and the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts to establish an “International Junior Research Group”. The central goal of the research project “Nano–femto-control of cooperative dynamics in van der Waals quantum materials” is to probe and control strong electronic correlations and pronounced collective excitations on their intrinsic femtosecond temporal and nanometer spatial scales. During the six-year funding period, the group will thus, for example, shed light onto tailored phase transitions in heterostructures of atomically thin van der Waals crystals.
