Thrilled to share that our latest research is now out in Nature Photonics: rdcu.be/enHK2

We assembled optical cavities "layer by layer" supporting strong light-matter interactions at room temperature and strong nonlinearities. Grateful to all coauthors who helped to make this possible!
Atomic-layer assembly of ultrathin optical cavities in van der Waals heterostructure metasurfaces - Nature Photonics
Ultrathin multilayer van der Waals material stacks are shaped into precisely engineered resonant nanostructures, giving strong nonlinearities at ultralow fluences of <1 nJ cm–2, more than three ord...

Incredibly relevant and actual piece on the path of the academic career post PhD

"... with a combination of lack of options and a slow career progression [...] The result is the selection of a rather stereotyped scientist who concentrates on career progression to the exclusion of everything else."
Just let me be a scientist:
The experienced, highly qualified postdoc is a valuable resource.
