Biography

Carla Brunner is a Doctoral student in the Ultrafast Nanoscience group at Umeå University. Her research focuses on the interaction of orbital angular momentum of light with magnetic materials using ultrafast spectroscopy techniques. She has engaged in various projects highlighting her interest in fundamental physics and its application in biochemistry, particularly in techniques such as super-resolution microscopy. For her Bachelor thesis, she worked on Mass Photometry, a microscopy technique capable of measuring the mass of single proteins. Additionally, her Master’s thesis involved generating entangled photon triplet states using tapered nanofibers, which serve as a versatile tool for nonlinear quantum optics experiments. Currently, she is involved in a project aimed at understanding the interaction of magnetic materials with orbital angular momentum plasmons and is developing a setup for ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy to study these fundamental effects at high temporal resolution.
