On October 10, 2025, Tim Völzer, PhD student in the Collaborative Research Centre LiMatI, successfully defended his doctoral thesis at the interface between semiconductor and molecular physics.
In his dissertation, he investigated the dynamics of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and their combination with dye molecules using time-resolved laser spectroscopy. His research, conducted within the interdisciplinary framework of the SFB LiMatI, sheds light on how light interacts with the electrons and crystal lattice of these materials, enabling the conversion into electrical signals. This opens up promising applications, such as in solar cells and electronics.
After successfully completing his PhD, Dr. Völzer now aims to pursue a career in industry and is currently seeking new opportunities.
We sincerely congratulate him on this significant achievement and wish him continued success in his future career!
