Bert Hecht

Prof. Dr. Bert Hecht is a Professor and Head of Experimental Physics V at the University of Würzburg's Faculty of Physics and Astronomy. He leads the Nano-Optics and Bio-Photonics group within the Chair of Experimental Physics (Biophysics). His research focuses on plasmonics, quantum optics, and nanophotonics, with applications in nanoantenna design, nonlinear optics, and bioimaging. He is affiliated with the Department of Experimental Physics V and oversees activities in the P1 building (Room B-040a).

Research interests include nanoscale optical manipulation, coherent light-matter interactions, and fabrication of advanced nanostructures using helium ion milling and two-photon polymerization. He collaborates on projects such as magnetic particle imaging and traveling wave MPI. His lab is equipped for ultrafast spectroscopy, photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM), and nanofabrication.

Notable contributions include work on electrically driven optical antennas, quantum plasmonic circuits, and all-optical magnetic domain switching. He supervises graduate students like Robert Zürl and participates in international conferences like the 18th ICMRM. Contact details include bert.hecht@uni-wuerzburg.de and ORCID 0000-0002-4883-8676.
