European Laboratory for Nonlinear Spectroscopy

Pre-doctoral research internship, LENS, 2007


LENS

During my PhD, I spent four months at the European Laboratory for Nonlinear Spectroscopy (LENS) in the group of Prof. Diederik Wiersma, within the framework of the European Network of Excellence PHOREMOST.

During this research stay in Florence, I explored the role of structural disorder in time-domain light transport through nanophotonic structures. This work directly connected multiple scattering, resonant feedback, and optical gain, and led to several joint publications in high-impact journals.
