Daniel Erkensten

Daniel Erkensten is a researcher at the Condensed Matter and Materials Theory group at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. His work focuses on exciton dynamics, quantum interactions in atomically thin semiconductors, and van der Waals heterostructures.

Education:

• Doctoral Thesis: Quantum Theory of Exciton-Exciton Interactions in Atomically Thin Semiconductors (2023)
• Licentiate Thesis: Microscopic Modelling of Exciton-Exciton Interactions (2022)

His research explores exciton transport, interlayer coupling, and quantum optical properties of 2D materials. Recent studies include electrical tuning of dipolar interactions and dark exciton annihilation mechanisms.

Publications reveal trends in transition metal dichalcogenides, exciton-polariton systems, and topological phases in quantum materials. His theoretical work has been supported by the European Commission's Graphene Flagship project.
