Prof. Wolfgang Lang from the research group Electronic Properties of Materials and our group are happy to announce the visit and talk from Prof. Dr. Roman Sobolewski. In his presentati he will introduce his research on the field of terahertz (THz) radiation, focusing on one of its most interesting forms, subpicosecond in duration bursts of electromagnetic waves.

Roman Sobolewski is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Physics, and Materials Science, as well as a Senior Scientist of Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USA. He received his PhD and DSc (Habilitation) degrees in Physics from the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warszawa, Poland, in 1983 and 1992, respectively. In 2006, he was granted the State Professorship of the Republic of Poland. In 2015, he was named a Distinguished Fellow of the Kosciuszko Foundation Collegium of Eminent Scientists of Polish Origin and Ancestry. Dr. Sobolewski is the Optica (former OSA) Travelling Lecturer, as well as the European Union ERASMUS+ Lecturer. His current research interests are concentrated on ultrafast phenomena in condensed matter, novel nanostructured electronic and optoelectronic semiconducting, spintronic, and superconducting devices and materials, single-photon quantum detection and quantum communications, and on generation and detection of THz radiation transients and time-resolved THz spectroscopy. He has published over 400 peer-reviewed papers and presented well over 200 invited conference talks, lectures, seminars, and colloquia worldwide.
