Assistant professor in the faculty of Electronics, Photonics, and Microsystems, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology

Dr. Lukasz Sterczewski is an assistant professor in the faculty of Electronics, Photonics, and Microsystems at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Poland. In 2023, he received the European Research Council (ERC) Starting grant, focusing on room-temperature generation and detection of terahertz frequency combs emitted by chip-scale semiconductor laser structures. Between 2015–2018 Dr. Sterczewski pioneered work on semiconductor laser frequency combs and their application to broadband, high-resolution spectroscopy at Princeton University. From 2019 to 2021 he was a postdoctoral researcher at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory working on battery-operated mid-infrared comb generators. In 2021 he returned to Wroclaw, Poland as a Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellow to explore the field of organic nonlinear optical crystals, offering ease of fabrication and spectral coverage from the long-wave infrared to the THz when pumped by near-infrared mode-locked laser sources. Now he continues his research journey with a newly established research team.
