Alexander Szameit (born 10 January 1979) is a German physicist working in experimental solid-state optics. [1]
Szameit studied physics at the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg and the University of Jena, graduating in 2004. [1] Following that, from 2004 to 2007 he pursued a doctoral degree at the University of Jena, graduating with the highest honor of " summa cum laude". [2] From 2009 he worked at the Technion in Haifa as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Mordechai Segev. [3] In 2011 he returned to the University of Jena as a junior professor and acquired his habilitation in 2015. [4] Since 2016, he is a professor at the University of Rostock, where he leads the Experimental Solid-state Optics group. [1] Since 2022, Szameit also serves on the board of the German Research Foundation's collaborative research center 1477 "LiMatI" [5]
Szameit's work focuses on the investigation of optical wave phenomena in discrete systems. [6] [7] As experimental platforms, he utilizes artificial structured media such as arrays of coupled optical waveguides directly inscribed into glass chips by ultrafast laser pulses, [7] or synthetic mesh lattices implemented by time-multiplexed loops of optical fibers. [8] Using these techniques, his research [6] covers a broad range of fields ranging from topological photonics, [9] non-Hermitian [8] and PT-symmetric [10] optical systems, integrated quantum photonics [11] and nonlinear optics [12] to synthetic dimensions [13] and the emulation of relativistic physics [14] in on-chip light-based settings.
