Combining ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) materials with conventional semiconductors creates new opportunities for innovative devices in sensing and information technology. In this talk, Dr. Andreas Bablich will show how established semiconductor processing can be combined with 2D-material platforms to build highly nonlinear photonic sensors and systems.
Examples include heterostructure photodetectors for enhanced sensing, amorphous-silicon and graphene photodetectors for optical ranging and 3D imaging, and thin-film memristors for neuromorphic computing. He will explain the physical principles behind these devices, their applications, and how they perform against the state of the art.
About the speaker: Dr. Bablich completed his habilitation at the University of Siegen in 2025 on nonlinear photonic sensors based on amorphous semiconductors and 2D materials. He has secured more than €3.8 million in research funding, written over 30 peer-reviewed publications, and co-invented five patent families.
