Martin Paul Geller

Dr. Martin Paul Geller serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Physics at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, holding the position of 'Akademischer Oberrat' since 2015. His research focuses on semiconductor nanostructures and quantum dots for quantum information technologies, with expertise spanning device fabrication to optical characterization.

Academic credentials include:

• Habilitation in experimental physics (University of Duisburg-Essen, 2019)
• PhD in physics with distinction (TU Berlin, 2007)
• Master's degree in physics (TU Berlin, 2001)

Geller's work centers on fundamental limitations of quantum dots as single photon emitters, particularly Auger recombination processes critical for quantum computing applications. His experimental approach combines time-resolved electrical transport measurements with high-resolution resonance fluorescence spectroscopy, supported by advanced device fabrication techniques including focused ion beam lithography.

Publication trends from 2024-2011 reveal consistent focus on quantum dot dynamics, with increasing emphasis on real-time measurement techniques and Auger recombination phenomena. His work bridges condensed matter physics and quantum information science, primarily utilizing semiconductor nanostructures for quantum device development.

Key honors include:

• Teaching award from Faculty of Medicine, University of Duisburg-Essen (2023)
• Nanowissenschaftspreis from AGeNT-D (2011)
• Carl-Ramsauer Award in physics (2007)
• DFG Research Fellowship for Cambridge research stay (2011/2012)

Geller leads multiple DFG-funded projects including 'Deep-level transient spectroscopy of defect characterization' (2024-present) and 'Auger recombination in self-assembled quantum dots' (2018-2021). He previously coordinated EU projects SANDiE and NANOMAT, demonstrating sustained success in securing third-party funding for quantum nanostructure research.

He operates within Prof. Axel Lorke's research group at the University of Duisburg-Essen and served on the board of the Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen (CeNIDE) from 2016-2020, contributing to institutional nanotechnology strategy.
