My Research Interests

My main interest is in potential biomedical applications of Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamonds. NV centers electrons possess unique spin properties, such as spin polarization / initialization by optical pumping, long coherence (T2) & relaxation (T1) times and optical readout, making them an attractive system for numerous applications. Leveraging strong collaborations both within Ulm University and external, we investigate the possibility of using NV centers for nuclear spin polarization and for sensing.
