Mario Ziegler

Mario Ziegler is a Researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Photonic Technology (Leibniz-IPHT), where he contributes to the Competence Center for Micro- and Nanotechnologies and the Work group Microsystem and Nanotechnology. His work bridges advanced fabrication techniques with applications in quantum devices, environmental science, and space technology.

His research interests include:

• Nanowire-based plasmonic lasers for nanophotonic circuitry
• Photocatalytic materials for UV-driven dye degradation
• Superconducting circuits and Josephson junctions for quantum computing
• Metasurface engineering for ultrafast laser pulse shaping
• Robust coatings for space applications

Recent publications highlight his focus on hybrid plasmonic-photonic systems, scalable fabrication technologies, and material optimization. His team uses techniques like metastable atomic layer deposition, nanomanipulation-assisted optical characterization, and microlensing gas phase electrodeposition to address challenges in device performance, environmental remediation, and space-grade materials.

Collaborators include Uwe Hübner, Ronny Stolz, Matthias Schmelz, and other researchers at Leibniz-IPHT and partner institutions. His work on self-assembled nanowire lasers and cross-type Josephson junctions reflects his role in advancing quantum and optoelectronic technologies.
