معرفی
PD Dr. Thilo Glatzel is a Research Associate and Lecturer at the Department of Physics, University of Basel. He is affiliated with the Faculty of Humanities and Natural Sciences and the FG Meyer research group. His roles include course coordination and student advising within the study/teaching division.
Research Interests: Glatzel's work focuses on nanoscale phenomena, particularly friction and lubrication at interfaces, quantum behaviors in molecular systems, and the application of advanced microscopy techniques like atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). His research explores superlubricity in 2D materials, charge redistribution in molecular assemblies, and quantum spin dynamics on superconducting surfaces.
Publications Overview: His recent work highlights studies on heterostructure interfaces (e.g., Au/MoS2), molecular dimerization on catalytic surfaces, and nonlinear dynamics in moiré systems. These studies bridge fundamental physics with applications in nanotechnology and materials science.
Teaching & Coordination: Glatzel oversees course coordination and student advising, contributing to both bachelor's and doctoral programs in physics. He is involved in structuring experimental and theoretical modules, including advanced laboratory courses and the Honors Track.
Labs & Groups: His research aligns with the Department's strengths in quantum computing (via the NCCR SPIN initiative) and nanoscience (Swiss Nanoscience Institute).
