k-space ultrafast spectroscopy on hybrid nanophotonic systems - 2026_IDR_DFIS_11

Position: Research appointment (pre-doc) Institute: Polytechnic of Milano

Description

The research will be carried out within the ERC Starting Grant project ULYSSES, which focuses on developing nanophotonic platforms to control light–matter interactions and photochemical processes on ultrafast timescales. The researcher will investigate ultrafast dynamics in hybrid systems, particularly excitonic organic materials strongly coupled to metacavities—resonant metasurfaces supporting polaritonic states. The work includes implementing multidimensional ultrafast spectroscopy to resolve temporal, spectral, and momentum dimensions of optical responses, enabling observation of dispersion dynamics after femtosecond excitation. It also involves designing time- and angle-resolved pump–probe spectroscopy setups and characterizing high-quality metasurfaces. The project aims to reveal mechanisms of ultrafast strong coupling and develop methods to map polaritonic dispersions, advancing understanding of nonequilibrium polariton dynamics and enabling control of photochemical processes.
