Laura Herz

Professor of Physics

My research is focused on investigating nanostructured molecular and inorganic semiconducting materials, with applications in artificial light harvesting and photocurrent generation at interfaces, supramolecular self-assembly and an understanding of material dynamics. I am particularly interested in how properties on the nanoscale affect the generation and mobility of charge carriers and the diffusivity of photoexcitations.
