Moritz Brehm

Moritz Brehm serves as an Associate Professor at the Department of Semiconductor Physics, Johannes Kepler University Linz, specializing in advanced semiconductor research with emphasis on quantum technologies and nanoelectronics.

His core research explores low-temperature epitaxy of group-IV semiconductors (Si, Ge, Sn), quantum device engineering, and strain manipulation in two-dimensional materials. He pioneers Schottky barrier transistor architectures using germanium alloys and investigates defect-enhanced quantum dots for light emission, driving innovations in quantum information processing and photonic applications.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent leadership in reconfigurable germanium transistors, strain-induced exciton dynamics, and novel group-IV transistor designs, bridging fundamental material science with practical quantum device implementation across electrical engineering and condensed matter physics domains.

No scientific awards are documented in the available sources.

Brehm actively supervises graduate researchers and secures substantial funding through Austrian national agencies, leading projects like 'Silicon Light Emitters Based on Defect-Enhanced Quantum Dots' (FWF) and 'SiCC! Quantum light' while contributing to major initiatives including META-FAB and Hubs for advanced solid-state quantum information devices.

He collaborates extensively through the META-FAB consortium and SpiNQS project, integrating metasurface fabrication, quantum nanolithography, and semiconductor physics to advance quantum emitter technologies and solid-state quantum information systems.
