Andreas Knorr

Prof. Dr. Andreas Knorr is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at Technische Universität Berlin, affiliated with the Institute of Theoretical Physics (Faculty II - Mathematics and Natural Sciences). His research focuses on nano- and near-field optics, electron transfer dynamics, and numerical simulations of quantum systems. He has been involved in UniCat research projects (e.g., Research Field D1 in 2012 and B5 from 2007–2011), exploring topics like plasmon coupling in nanoparticles, surface-enhanced spectroscopy, and exciton dynamics in 2D materials.

Knorr's research interests emphasize theoretical and computational approaches to nanoscale optical phenomena. His work bridges quantum mechanics and materials science, with applications in plasmonics, semiconductor nanostructures, and ultrafast dynamics. Publications highlight contributions to nanoparticle plasmon interactions, quantum dot emission dynamics, and carbon nanotube electronic properties.

His recent work (2010–2012) includes studies on plasmon coupling in gold nanoparticles, electron transfer in biomolecules, and theoretical frameworks for nonlinear optical responses. These studies often involve collaborations with experimental groups, as evidenced by co-authorships in journals like Physical Review B and Langmuir.

Knorr’s affiliations include the TU Berlin Institute of Theoretical Physics, where he maintains an active research group and lab. His research aligns with broader university initiatives in nanotechnology and quantum materials.
