Our research focuses on light-matter interactions in low-dimensional quantum materials. We develop experimental techniques inspired by optical spectroscopy, nano-optomechanics and device physics to investigate hybrid systems, notably van der Waals heterostructures made from two-dimensional materials such as graphene, atomically-thin semiconductors and magnets. We explore novel optical phenomena and quantum phases of matter, either inherited from the reduced dimensionality or arising from proximity effects yet to be understood.

We are located at IPCMS, a research institute co-hosted by CNRS & Université de Strasbourg in France, on the Cronenbourg campus.
