Research Associate

Research Focus

Christina Hofer is a postdoctoral fellow at the Quantum Matter Institute since August 2022. She completed her PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics/Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich in 2021. Her research focused on the development of field-resolved spectrometers in the mid-infrared spectral range, used to detect changes in the composition of human blood samples for early cancer detection.

Here at QMI, Christina works with Prof. David Jones, applying her ultrafast laser and spectroscopy expertise to building spectrometers both for an application in mining and the study of low-dimensional materials.

When she’s not working with lasers, Christina can be found running along the beach in the summer or at synchronized skating practice in the winter.
