The focus of the research team 'Optical Materials' is on the development of photonic nanomaterials using bottom-up strategies. For this purpose nanoscale building blocks are wet-chemically synthesized and subsequently self-assembled into functional devices. Dr. Claudia Pacholski is a Heisenberg fellow at the University of Potsdam and more information on her scientific goals can be found on the following webpage: http://www.chem.uni-potsdam.de/groups/optsens/.
