Dr. Belkin’s research interests are MIR and THz photonics, optoelectronics, and nonlinear optics. Recent projects include the investigation of exotic linear and nonlinear optical effects in metamaterials and low-dimensional structures, development and application of compact room-temperature MIR and THz sources and detectors, tunable plasmonic devices, integrated MIR photonics systems, and sub-wavelength resolution vibrational spectroscopy.

Prof. Cristescu research is focused on detection of volatile compounds in complex gas mixtures. Her group develops and applies techniques and analytical methodologies using optical absorption spectroscopy and mass spectrometry for a wide range of gas concentrations (from sub-ppb to percentages). Applications include: biomarkers detection and monitoring for precision medicine, fruit storage, dairy farming, air pollution and wastewater monitoring, plasma diagnostics, etc.

Peter Burgholzer’s main working area is non-destructive testing with optical methods, especially laser ultrasound, photoacoustic and photothermal imaging, and optical coherence tomography. He is scientific director of the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Photoacoustic Imaging and Laser Ultrasonics and CEO of RECENDT. In recent years, the combination of IR thermography with acoustic reconstruction has been in his scientific focus to combine the advantages of thermography and ultrasound.
