Humboldt Grant at the University of Oxford for Jasmin-Clara Bürger
Jasmin-Clara Bürger, a post-doctoral researcher at the Laboratory for Sensors, successfully applied for a Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Starting in summer 2024, in the framework of her 2-year Fellowship, she will join the renowned research group of Prof Dr Michael Johnston at the Clarendon Laboratory at the University of Oxford, UK. She will investigate semiconductor-based THz spatial light modulators for 6G communication systems there.
Bürger studied Microsystems Engineering in Freiburg and graduated with a doctoral degree from the University of Freiburg in 2023. Her doctoral thesis at the Laboratory for Nanotechnology under the supervision of Prof Dr Margit Zacharias focused on the growth, characterisation and application of SnO2 nanowires. Parts of her results for her doctoral thesis were collected during a 6-month Fulbright research stay at MIT (USA) in the group of Prof Dr Frances M. Ross in 2021. Since October 2023, Bürger has been a post-doctoral researcher in the research group of JProf Dr Alwin Daus where she is working on Zn2SnO4 thin film transistors.
Prof Johnston’s research interests comprise THz photonics and the vacuum-based growth of metal-halide perovskites. In 2019, he was awarded the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for a research stay at the University of Regensburg to collaborate with Prof Dr Rupert Huber. Prof Johnston’s research group is internationally well-connected and collaborates with research teams worldwide, including Australia, Germany, Switzerland and the USA.
The Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship is a program of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation that supports postdocs and experienced researchers in all research fields in carrying out research projects at a university abroad. In the framework of the Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship, projects up to 24 months are funded.
