Jens Neu
Group Leader
Jens got his Ph.D. from the Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, in Germany for his research into THz Metamaterials. After graduation he moved to the United States. He joined the Chemistry Department at Yale university where he study amino acids, peptides, and nanoparticles under the supervision of Charles A. Schmuttenmaer. He then also joined the molecular biophysics and biochemistry department at Yale, studying conductivity and photophysics in proteins.
In January 2023, Jens became group leader of his own research group in the department of Physics at UNT. His research interests cover THz spectroscopy on any material that is exciting (or can be excited :) ). A particular focus lies on materials for renewable energy production, i.e. solar cells.
Kendra Hamilton
Graduate Student
Kendra graduated from the University of North Texas (UNT) with a bachelor's in physics in May of 2023. She began studying Terahertz spectroscopy in January of 2023 joining our group for her graduate studies. She is working toward her PhD in physics at UNT. Kendra's primary interest is the study of emerging solar materials.
