Prof. Willem Vos

COPS congratulates alumnus Dr. Martijn Wubs for being appointed Full Professor (earlier in 2024) in the Department of Electrical and Photonics Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark DTU (Danish: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet). His team “Quantum Photonics of Low-Dimensional Systems” investigates new ways to use light, and studies how to create ever smaller light sources to meet the world’s need for communication technologies in a more energy-friendly way. As an enthusiastic advisor, Martijn is also actively engaged with undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. Martijn wrote a beautiful thesis at COPS on “Quantum optics and multiple scattering in dielectrics” under the guidance of Ad Lagendijk and Leendert Suttorp. Moreover, Martijn was a key person in our adventures on Foerster resonant energy transfer (FRET) in nanophotonics (with @Christian Blum, @Vinod Subramaniam and colleagues click) including an elegant theory paper.
