F.T. (Freddy) Rabouw

Dr. Freddy Rabouw is an Associate Professor at Utrecht University's Faculty of Science, affiliated with the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science. His research focuses on energy, charge, and mass transport in nanostructured materials, with applications in sustainability, catalysis, and photonics.

• Expertise: Spectroscopy, Nanomaterials, Quantum Materials
• Soft Condensed Matter research sub-unit

He employs time-resolved optical microscopy/spectroscopy and mathematical modeling to study individual nanocrystals and catalyst systems. Recent work includes:

• Energy-transfer pathways in rare-earth-doped materials
• Single-nanocrystal property variations
• Molecular diffusion in heterogeneous catalysts

His 15 most recent publications span quantum dots, luminescence thermometry, and catalysis, emphasizing energy transfer mechanisms and operando analysis of dynamic systems. Media coverage includes articles in Trouw and Het Parool about quantum cutting and nanocrystal-based light generation.
