Hannes Kempf

Hannes Kempf is a Postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Physics at Umeå University, working within the Ultrafast Nanoscience group led by Dr. Nicolò Maccaferri. His research focuses on ultrafast spectroscopy and magneto-optical effects, particularly investigating the control of magnetic phenomena via twisted plasmons generated by ultrashort laser pulses.

Education: Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Konstanz, Germany (focus: laser systems development and field-resolved detection schemes like electro-optical sampling).

Research Interests: Solid-state physics, ultrafast pump-probe techniques, and the interplay between plasmons and magnetism. Current project (2025–2029): 'Ultrafast control of magnetism with twisted plasmons.'

Labs/Teams: Active member of the Ultrafast Nanoscience group at Umeå University.
