Anders Mikkelsen studies the interplay between function, structure, and growth of nanostructures, from micrometers down to the atomic scale, from seconds to attosecond and moving towards realistic synthesis and device operation environments. The aim is a better fundamental understanding of complex, dynamic condensed matter systems, as well as developing novel materials and devices for next generation computing, energy systems and products improving our lives. A present focus is on using advanced light sources such as 4th generation synchrotrons and atto/femto second lasers in combination with high resolution microscopy and nano-optoelectronic devices.
