Markus Borsch

I started my scientific endeavors in Germany at the Philipps-Universität Marburg from where I received a B.S. and M.S. degree in Physics and graduated with a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2023. My research interests include a range of topics in theoretical condensed matter physics, including in particular the spatio-temporal dynamics of carriers and excitons in semiconductors and lightwave electronics that allow us to sculpt the flow of electronic coherences and fully utilize the quantum properties of electrons in solids for quantum applications and PHz electronics.
