Dr. Anna Rosławska

Senior scientist

Anna Rosławska studied applied physics and nanotechnology in Poland. For her PhD, she moved to Germany where she worked at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart until 2019 graduating with a PhD in physics from École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Afterwards, she moved to the Institut de Physique et Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg (CNRS) in France (group of G. Schull), where she did her postdoc and obtained Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship. In 2023, she returned to Stuttgart where she is currently leading an Emmy Noether Junior Research Group. Her research interests focus on light-matter interaction probed with sub-nm precision.

Dr. Klaus Kuhnke

Senior scientist

Klaus Kuhnke is senior scientist and group leader at the Nanoscience Department at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart. He holds a degree in Physics and a Ph.D. from the University of Bonn and received a Feodor-Lynen Fellowship in 1991 for his postdoc studies at the Bell Laboratories in the U.S. His research has focused on the structure of and processes at interfaces employing a variety of devoted methods such as thermal energy atom scattering, Xray surface crystallography, X-ray circular dichroism, and time-resolved nonlinear optical spectroscopy. In the past decade, he developed and set up a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope for luminescence studies. Currently, he leads the nanooptics research group employing this instrument to investigate electroluminescence from molecular systems.
