Dr. Daniel Wegner
Associate Professor
Associate Professor
Daniel Wegner is an associate professor within the SPM department, and is a permanent staff member at the Institute for Molecules and Materials since 2014. His research focuses on high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS), with research topics on submolecularly resolved single-molecule fluorescence, nanoscale rare-earth magnetism, and quantum simulation of artificial molecules and lattices on solid state surfaces. He studied Physics at the University of Oldenburg (Germany), and the Free University Berlin (Germany) where he also wrote his dissertation (Kaindl group, 2004) on the influence of magnetic properties on the electronic structure of lanthanide-metal surfaces. In 2006, he received a postdoc fellowship by the Alexander von Humboldt foundation and moved to Mike Crommie’s group at University of California, Berkeley (USA), where he started working on metalorganic molecules and bottom-up synthesis of magnetic molecules via atomic manipulation techniques. In 2009, he became an Emmy Noether group leader (funded by DFG) at the University of Münster (Germany), where he focused his research on understanding molecular magnetism and phosphorescent molecules and the role of molecule-substrate interactions on molecular properties. In 2011, he became member of the “Junges Kolleg” at the North-Rhine Westphalian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
Daniel has 46 peer-reviewed publictions (as of 08-2024). He is also strongly engaged in teaching (seven different courses at Radboud so far, twice nominted for faculty educational award, coordinator of the Quantum Matter Master specialization) as well as a good atmosphere (confidential contact person) at the Institute of Molecules and Materials.
