Excited to finally share the news that I was awarded an ERC Starting grant ! Still pinching my arm, but in NOMISS, we’ll explore nanocrystals for mid-infrared light amplification to enable low-cost chemical sensors. More to follow very soon ! @ERC_Research @ResearchUGent #ERCStg
At #ugent we are proud of all our ERC Grantees. With 10 new Starting Grants from call 2022,we now host 108 ERC grantees in total, together having 142 ERC projects. Thank you @ERC_Research for funding excellent groundbreaking research! #ERC100GranteesUGent ugent.be/en/news-events/erc-…

Colloidal QD lasers gain traction, but will they ever use InP-based QDs for optical gain? Check our first observation of stimulated emission from InP/ZnSe QDs in @AdvOpticalMat (doi.org/10.1002/adom.2022003…) !
