Biography

Professor Finley’s research investigates coherent quantum physical phenomena in nanostructured materials and components based on semiconducting and metallic systems. His group utilizes laser spectroscopy to study and verify quantum mechanical, optical quantum phenomena in nanostructured solid-state materials. The research on hybrid systems, which consist of semiconductors and nanophotonic materials, serves as a starting point for future applications in information processing, energy storage, and solar power. Professor Finley completed his studies in physics at the University of Manchester, UK, and was awarded his doctorate at the University of Sheffield, UK. He followed a Royal Society Fellowship at the Walter Schottky Institute of TUM. Throughout his career, he has held positions as a University Research Fellow and Visiting Fellow at notable institutes. He served as the Director of the Nanostructure Photonics Group from 2003 to 2013, and in 2013, he took on the role of chair in Semiconductor Quantum Nanosystems. He has received various accolades for his contributions to the field.
