The OpNaQ group (Optics of Nano and Quantum Materials - (Structured) Light, Sound and Matter) is part of the Department of Experimental Physics at the University of Graz. The group covers a broad portfolio of scientific research areas and expertise, from the investigation of individual nanostructures, the generation, description and application of complex light fields, the development of novel methods based on the interaction of structured light with matter, photoacoustics, biophotonics and laser ultrasound methods, all the way to integrated photonics, structured optical materials and sensor technology. The group investigates these topical areas from fundamental physical phenomena, experiments, and theory to applications. Each member contributes to the team's success in their own way, beit through experimental skills, theoretical expertise or creative solutions.
