Jens Neu

Jens Neu is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of North Texas. His research focuses on advanced spectroscopic techniques and novel materials characterization, particularly in terahertz spectroscopy, photoconductivity, and energy harvesting systems.

His work integrates experimental and computational approaches to study materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), microbial nanowires, and 2D semiconductors. Key areas include ultrafast charge transport dynamics, phase transitions, and energy conversion mechanisms. He has developed innovative methods like optical pump-terahertz probe spectroscopy for contact-free conductivity measurements in emerging materials.

Neu's research spans interdisciplinary topics including biophysical systems, nanomaterials, and quantum materials. He has contributed to open-source tools like Nelly for terahertz data analysis and explored applications in solar energy and biohybrid devices. His studies frequently involve collaborations across physics, chemistry, and biology to address challenges in sustainable materials and next-generation electronics.
