About us

Current Team

We are an interdisciplinary team of experimental physicists, chemists and material scientists.

What unifies us is an interest in probing the excited state dynamics and spin physics of emerging material systems.

We are looking to hire enthusiastic PhD students, Summer Interns, Masters and Postdocs to join in 2024. Contact hannah.stern@manchester.ac.uk to learn more.
