Stephan Steinhauer

Dr. Stephan Steinhauer studied electrical engineering and technical physics at TU Wien, where he received his PhD in 2014. His related research work conducted at AIT Austrian Institute of Technology focused on the growth and heterogeneous device integration of metal oxide nanowires for chemical sensing applications. Afterwards, he moved to the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan, working as Postdoctoral Scholar on nanoparticle design by gas-phase synthesis.

Currently, he works as permanent researcher in the Quantum Nano Photonics Group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Ongoing projects include:

• Semiconductor quantum optics; Rydberg states in Cu\(_2\)O micro- and nanostructures.
• Device technologies for opto-chemical sensing of gaseous molecules.
• Quantum detectors based on superconducting nanowires.
