Michael is a co-organizer of a minicolloquium on “Magnetism and Correlations in 2D Materials in and out of Equilibrium” at CMD2020GEFES in Madrid, August 31 – September 4, 2020. Featuring invited talks by Efrén Navarro-Moratalla, James McIver, Dante Kennes, and Ralph Ernstorfer.
Call for PhD applications
The IMPRS-UFAST is looking for bright young minds willing to dive into research on ultrafast dynamics and imaging of matter. Application deadline is December 2nd, 2019.
For the Sentef group we are specifically looking for candidates in two areas of research:
If you are interested and would like to learn more, please do not hesitate to contact Michael.
Group hike on Heidschnuckenweg
On Wednesday, July 24, we had our 2019 group outing going on a 16-kilometer hike in 3:40h from Fischbek to Langenrehm (Rosengarten). Thanks, Mona, for the awesome suggestion! We had a great day despite the high 34-degree temperatures.

Riku receives Academy of Finland funding
Riku Tuovinen has been granted an Academy of Finland 3-year independent funding award starting in September 2019. In his project “Ultrafast many-body correlations in quantum transport and spectroscopy” Riku will develop and apply novel theoretical and computational methods for many-body quantum phenomena out of equilibrium. Congratulations, Riku!
Postdoc position available. Join our team!
Apply now for a postdoctoral position in the group.
Cavity Quantum-Electrodynamical Chern Insulator
Our paper on using vacuum fluctuations of light in a cavity to change materials properties is online.
How to identify a Majorana zero mode in an ultrafast way
Riku’s paper on ultrafast signatures of Majorana zero modes is online. Congrats! This was a very nice collaboration with our friends Enrico Perfetto and Gianluca Stefanucci in Rome as well as Robert van Leeuwen in Jyväskylä.
UXSS 2019 at CFEL Hamburg
Michael is organizing UXSS 2019, taking place in Hamburg, June 16-21, 2019. The ultrafast x-ray summer seminar (UXSS) is an annual school aimed at PhD students and junior postdocs working on or interested in learning about x-ray methods at free-electron laser sources. Topics range from basics of x-ray sources via atomic and molecular physics and chemical dynamics to structural biology and inelastic light scattering in correlated materials. Registration will open in early 2019.
