معرفی
JProf. Dr. Nicholas Güsken is a Tenure Track Assistant Professor (W1) at the Department of Physics (Experimentelle und angewandte Physik) at Paderborn University, affiliated with the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS) and the Center for Optoelectronics and Photonics (CeOPP). His research focuses on nanophotonics, plasmonics, and quantum-optoelectronic systems, with emphasis on integrating novel materials and nanostructuring for advanced optical devices.
- Education: PhD from Imperial College London (2017-2020), followed by postdoctoral research at Stanford University (2021-2025).
- Awards: Member of the Junge Akademie (2025), recipient of the NRW-Returning Scholar Program grant (€1.25M).
His work spans plasmonic modulators, quantum key distribution systems, and nanoscale light-matter interactions. Key contributions include low-loss plasmonic devices, enhanced erbium emission in waveguides, and tunable vector beam decoders for high-dimensional quantum communication. He has developed fabrication methods for aluminum plasmonic waveguides and pioneered techniques for analyzing dipolar nano-emitters using non-paraxial light fields.
Current projects explore nanofocusing for nonlinear optics, hot-carrier-based photodetection, and integrating plasmonics with semiconductor technologies. His research bridges fundamental photonics with applied optoelectronic systems for telecommunications and quantum technologies.
