Monika Ubl

Monika Ubl is part of the 4th Physics Institute at the University of Stuttgart, focusing on etching and thin film techniques. Her research integrates plasmonics, metamaterials, and superconducting devices. She specializes in developing tunable optical components like electrically switchable metasurfaces, nanoantennas, and photodetectors operating in near- and mid-infrared ranges.

Key research interests include:

• Electrochromic metasurfaces for dynamic optical control
• Plasmonic perfect absorbers for high-sensitivity photodetection
• Conductive polymer-based reconfigurable optical elements
• Superconducting nanowire sensor integration

Her work emphasizes material innovation (e.g., niobium nitride, PEDOT:PSS) and fabrication techniques like femtosecond laser writing. Recent articles highlight advancements in beam steering, polarization-independent detection, and nanoscale device tuning.
