معرفی
Dr. Mathias Sander serves as a Beamline Scientist at the Bernina Endstation of the Swiss Free Electron Laser (SwissFEL) within the Laboratory for Condensed Matter at the Paul Scherrer Institute's Center for Photon Science, Switzerland.
His academic background includes:
- Diploma in Physics from the University of Potsdam (2006-2014)
- PhD in Physics (magna cum laude, 2018) from the University of Potsdam, focusing on "ultrafast tailored strain fields in nanostructures"
Dr. Sander's research centers on ultrafast material manipulation using precisely tuned laser pulses to excite electronic, magnetic, and structural degrees of freedom. His current projects employ sub-THz strain waves and low-frequency THz pulses to control ferroelectric polarization in epitaxial heterostructures on ultrafast timescales, enabling potential breakthroughs in data storage technology and coherent control systems. He simultaneously advances sample environment technologies to enhance Bernina Endstation capabilities.
As beamline scientist, he manages beamline access, development, and user support while maintaining membership in the German Physical Society (DPG). His publication record comprises 21 Web of Science-indexed papers (228 citations, H-index 9 as of November 2022).
