Very happy to have seen so many people from the general public having a look at our #photonic and #activematter experiments @ #longnightofscience @unileipzig.bsky.social

We made slimy monsters 👾, cats 🐈 appear&disappear, 🌈 and propel mini rafts in water driven by soap 🧼

My last days @ETH came to an end. Very grateful for the opportunity to drive new research frontiers at @quidantsnsl.bsky.social

Big thanks to @rquidant.bsky.social for the opportunity and the @snf-fns.ch for support me with a fellowship.

On to new projects @unileipzig.bsky.social

Happy to see my first book chapter being printed! #activecolloids

There is something simply valuable when you actually hold it in your hand.

Who is going to attend #BiophotonicsCongress this year in San Diego? Hope to see you there! 👋

For all members of the technical group on Optical Trapping and Manipulation, stay tuned as we are planning some exciting events for you. @opticaltrapping.bsky.social

Physicist working on the intersection between photonics/microfluidics/soft matter physics.
Would appreciate the add!

Happy to share with you my latest preprint based on the work I did @UniJena with Falk Eilenberger.
We looked at drop-casting as a viable method to produce single photon emitters from #hBN where quality & yield strongly depends on the solvent and supplier.
