Christian Engelbrekt

I am currently one year into my three-year individual postdoc scholarship from the Danish Council for Independent Research, the national funding agency in Denmark. The project focuses on plasmonic photocatalysis and is carried out jointly at UCI (2/3) and the NanoChemistry Group at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU, 1/3), from which I got my Ph.D. in 2014. I am interested in plasmon-driven charge and heat generation, and how this affects catalytic properties of metal-metal and metal-semiconductor composite nanomaterials.
