Assoc. Prof. Timur Shegai


We are interested in plasmon-exciton interactions, strong coupling, surface-enhanced phenomena such as SERS and fluorescence, quantum and low temperature plasmonics, directional nanoantennas, plasmonic nanowires and various types of sensing. Our experimental work encompasses single-particle/single-molecule microscopy and spectroscopy, angle-resolved or so-called Fourier imaging,nanofabrication and electron microscopy.

My research focuses on theoretical problems of nanophotonics and quantum optics. I am interested in intriguing and extraordinary interaction of light with matter. Those include the development of nanostructures with tunable electromagnetic response, processes of perfect electromagnetic absorption and lasing, ultrafast and nonlinear interaction of light with resonant nanophotonic structures, temporal dynamics of quantum emitters in complex photonic environment.

I joined the Bionanophotonics division and the Applied Quantum Physics Laboratory (MC2) as a postdoctorate researcher in November 2016, after defending my PhD thesis in the Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté (Dijon, France). My thesis was focusing on the quantum description of localized surface plasmon modes, and the quantum control of atoms, molecules and quantum dots coupled to photonic and plasmonic cavities. Today, my research extends to the theoretical study of quantum nonlinearities at the nanoscale, e.g. single quantum emitters strongly and ultrastrongly coupled to nanoantennas.

I joined the group as a Post-doctorate researcher in January 2017 after completing my PhD from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore). I have dual Master degrees in Nanotechnology from Chalmers and KULeuven (Belgium) under the Erasmus Mundus program (EMM-NANO). My PhD thesis was about design and fabrication of hyperlenses while during my Master’s thesis I worked on on-chip electrical detection of surface plasmons. While at Chalmers I will be working on Plasmon-Exciton interaction between nanoparticles and 2-level systems (J-aggregates, quantum dots, 2D materials etc.) inside optical cavities. I will also be extensively working on various nano-fabrication techniques including e-beam lithography and FDTD electromagnetic simulations.

I have joined the Bionanophotonics group as a postdoctoral researcher in February 2017. I recently received my Ph.D from the Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria in August, 2016 with a specialization in Advanced Nanoplasmonics under supervision of Prof. Thomas A. Klar. My Ph.D work was focused on the hybrid multi-layered plasmonic nanostars for photon management in organic optoelectronic devices as well as in coherent random lasing. My key strengths in scientific research are the fabrication and characterization of optoelectronic devices, light manipulation in OLEDs, photonics, coherent random lasers, as well as design and synthesis of plasmonic nanoparticles such as nanobipyramids, and nanostars. My main research interest is plasmon-exciton interactions in nanoscale. More specifically, it includes ultra-strong light-matter coupling as well as cavity-induced exciton transport in organic optoelectronic devices under electrical and optical pumping, and modifications of chemical properties for molecules in the strong coupling regime.

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Bionanophotonics group since September 2018. I received my PhD from the Sheffield University, England. During my PhD I worked with quantum dots coupled to photonic crystal cavities. My main research interest are ultra-fast optical spectroscopy and coherent control of quantum systems. I hope I can apply my knowledge in the strong coupling systems.

My main focus is set on investigating nonlinear effects (Four Wave Mixing, Coherent Anti Raman Scattering, Second Harmonic Generation) of plasmonics (resonant coupled electron oscillations) on metallic nanostructures at nanometer resolution in order to design highly efficient nano-sensors and laser-like nano-emitters.

I am a Nanotechnology MSc student at Chalmers with some experience in laboratory work focused around nanotechnology and micro/nanofabrication. I have a background in physics (Engineering Physics BSc. at Chalmers) and during my master studies I have combined theoretical and more practical courses to diversify my knowledge and skills. For my thesis I am looking into polaritonic phyisics and strong coupling effects in hetrostructures.
