Hohenester, Ulrich, Ao.Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr.rer.nat.
Welcome to Hohenester's Nano Optics Group
I am a theoretical solid-state physicist, interested in computational nanophotonics and plasmonics. I obtained my PhD in Theoretical Physics at the University of Graz 1997. I then moved as a Postdoc to the nanoscience group Modena headed by Elisa Molinari, where I spent the years 1997 - 2000 working on semiconductor quantum dots. In 2001 I joined the Solid State Theory group in Graz headed by Walter Pötz. In the same year I obtained my Habilitation in Theoretical Physics. Currently I am Professor at the Institute of Physics in Graz. From 2006 to 2016 I have been Associated Editor of the European Physical Journal B.
