Karolina Słowik
I am an assistant professor at the Institute of Physics, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. My work is focused on theoretical investigations of light-matter interactions in engineered environments, ranging from optically dressed media to adjacent nanophotonic devices. This includes development and application of both analytical and numerical models, collaboration with excellent theoretical and experimental partners, and supervision of talented students.
Miriam Kosik
I am a student of the second year of master studies in physics at the Nicolaus Copernicus Univerisity in Toruń. My bachelor’s thesis was about the dynamics of open quantum systems. Currently I am working on theoretical description of light-matter interactions and in this topic I am writing my master’s thesis under the academic supervision of dr. Karolina Słowik
Andrzej Gajewski
I am a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Physics, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. My field of research is quantum optics. I am involved in simulations of light-matter interactions and on spontaneous parametric down conversion. My calculations are performed with Mathematica, Matlab, COMSOL, and self-developed codes.
Monika Kubek
I am a master student at the Nicolaus Copernicus Univerisity in Toruń. My project is focused on influence of nanonphotonic structures on on molecular optical activity, in particular on circular dichroism.
PARTNER TEAMS
The group of Carsten Rockstuhl, Karlsruhe
Prof. Carsten Rockstuhl is a world-class expert in plasmonics and nanomaterials. His group has wide professional experience in characterizing optical properties of metamaterials and isolated nanostructures, such as optical nanoantennas.
The group of Florian Weigend, Karlsruhe
The quantum description of molecular dynamics is based on the molecular structure and optical properties obtained by the group of quantum chemists led by Priv. Doz. Dr. Florian Weigend at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. He is a coauthor of the TURBOMOLE: an abinitio computational chemistry program
