Sebastian Klimmer is currently completing a dual PhD programme at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany and the Australian National University, Australia. There he seeks to combine his knowledge of nonlinear optics in 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides with the expertise on dielectric metasurfaces provided by the TMOS Centre to explore new functionalities for future all-optical nano-photonic applications. Having received awards for both his Master’s thesis (FSU Jena) and his ongoing PhD project, he has already demonstrated his commitment to academia and is always looking forward to new challenges, including collaborations with different research areas. He is convinced that it is always beneficial to think beyond the horizon of one’s own research. That is why he has been one of the organisers of the largest German PhD conference in photonics (DoKDoK) since 2022 and its chairman since 2023.
