Last month I presented my results from my first year as postdoc at the DPG meeting Dresden. It was a cool event, meeting new and old friends.

5 running races across Copenhagen in the winter, with some ‘hygge’ afterwards, that is the frost cup. I participed for the fun and to get in shape for the triathlon season, the last race was on familiar ground at DTU.

Normally, two electrons repel each other because they are both negatively charged. However, colleagues of mine have found that, at the interface between two oxides, electrons can also attract one another. We investigated this effect by exploiting the presence of accidental quantum dots and studying …

I started my postdoc in the group of functional oxdies at the Danish Technical University under supervision of prof. Thomas Sand Jespersen. I will work on two dimensional semiconductor-superconductor membrane devices. This also means that I moved to a new city: Copenhagen! Looking forward to the …

By stacking thin layers of different materials on top of each other a structural coupling between the layers can be achieved. This coupling can create new and interesting electronic behaviors.

My PhD thesis titled: Topology and correlations in oxides and tellurides can now be found online (open access).

On the 23th of October 2024 I defended and celebrated my PhD dissertation. It was day I really enjoyed and will never forget.

Our work on superconductivity in a new quantum material was featured in a blog of the University of Twente written by Kees Wesselink:

For the first time since the discovery of the material MnBi2Te4 (MBT), researchers at the University of Twente have successfully made it behave like a superconductor. …
