Roman Krahne
Roman Krahne leads the Optoelectronics Research Line at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genoa. He received his PhD in Applied Physics from the University of Hamburg (Germany). In 2001 he joined the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) as a postdoctoral fellow, receiving fellowships from the Feinberg graduate school and the Thyssen Foundation. Roman Krahne became researcher at the National Nanotechnology Laboratory of the National Research Council (CNR) in Italy in 2003, and 2009 he joined IIT as Senior Researcher. In 2013 he was appointed Guest Professor by the Institute of Semiconductors at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where he gave extended lectures on Nanoscience and the communication of the obtained results and insights.
His research interests are on optoelectronic properties of nanocrystal, comprising thin films and assemblies, devices, plasmonics and metamaterials, and the related optical and electrical spectroscopies. Roman Krahne is member of the Collegio di docenti of the Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry Department of the University of Genoa.
He will provide us with a talk titled: Two-dimensional metal halide perovskite microcrystals: Heterostructures, doping, optical properties and photonic functionality
