Sarahjasmin Finkelmeyer

Dr. Sarahjasmin Finkelmeyer is a Researcher at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz-IPHT), affiliated with the Work group Organic Thin Films and Interfaces under the Research Department Photonics and Quantum Detection. Her work focuses on the interfacial engineering of organic thin films and nanomaterials for optoelectronic and energy-related applications.

Her research interests involve

• Electrochemical behavior of catalyst-coordinated graphene nanoribbons
• Stabilization of organic solar cells through amphiphilic additives
• Tuning optical properties via intermolecular interactions
• Defect-free Langmuir-Blodgett film fabrication
• Micro-optical devices from hybrid glasses
• Controlling frontier orbital energies in layered thin films

Recent studies highlight her contributions to

• Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst immobilization
• Morphology stabilization in polymer solar cells
• Thermal imprinting of ZIF-62 hybrid glasses
• Quantifying surface-to-bulk interactions in organic semiconductors

She collaborates with researchers such as Martin Presselt, Ksenija Glusac, and Jordi Cabana across interdisciplinary projects bridging materials science, electrochemistry, and optical engineering. Her workgroup specializes in Langmuir-Blodgett techniques, spectroscopic analysis, and atomic force microscopy for thin film characterization.
