Frank Stienkemeier is awarded an prestigious ERC grant
Frank Stienkemeier, professor of molecular and nanophysics at the University of Freiburg’s Institute of Physics, has received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to study fundamental processes of excitation and energy transfer upon light absorption using new laser technologies and, in particular, ultrashort methods. The grant is one of the most prestigious research awards in Europe and recognizes outstanding research leaders to pursue ground-breaking projects. The ERC will provide 2.3 million euros for Stienkemeier’s project COCONIS (Coherent Multidimensional Spectroscopy of Controlled Isolated Systems) in the next five years. The researcher’s findings could contribute to improving systems based on organic photovoltaics.
