Martijn Wubs

Martijn Wubs is a Professor and Group Leader in the Department of Electrical and Photonics Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research focuses on Quantum Photonics, Plasmonics, and Two-Dimensional Materials, with affiliations to the Center for Quantum Technologies and NanoPhoton – Center for Nanophotonics. He leads the Quantum Photonics of Low-dimensional Systems group, investigating phenomena such as collective photon emission, optical trapping, and light-matter interactions in nanoscale systems. His work spans applications in quantum optics, nanophotonics, and metamaterials.

Recent research emphasizes dielectric nanocavities, single-photon sources in 2D materials, and strong coupling in hybrid systems. Over 129 publications and 25 active/finished projects reflect his contributions to topics like plasmonic systems, nonlocal optical effects, and defect engineering in hBN. He supervises multiple PhD students in areas such as nanosensing, optical trapping, and moiré heterostructures.

His lab explores quantum emitters in 2D materials, optical trapping mechanisms, and phonon-mediated dynamics, with applications in quantum communication and nanoscale sensing. Collaborations span international institutions, advancing the frontiers of nanophotonics and quantum technologies.
