HFML Nijmegen. I started with my PhD at HFML in September 2019, in the group of Uli Zeitler. I study the THz AC conductivity in semiconductors, while at the same time I develop an experimental setup that is capable of resistively detecting cyclotron resonances. Consequently, most of my work so far is related to optimizing the setup, both electrically as well as optically. The fact that the IR radiation of the FELIX Laboratory plays such a prominent role in my research makes it a challenging and interesting project, especially considering that the combination of static high magnetic fields and free-electron lasers is unique in the world. In summer, I was looking forward to the EMFL hands-on workshop in Dresden, but unfortunately, it was cancelled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hopefully, I can meet some of you in another way.
