Kriegel Ilka

Ilka Kriegel received the M.Sc. degree in advanced materials science from Technical University Munich, Munich, Germany, in 2009, accompanied by a research stay with the University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA, in 2010, and the Ph.D. degree in physics from Technical University Munich, in 2013. During her first Postdoc with Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, she delved into the ultrafast spectral response of hybrid nanomaterials. She is currently the Head of the Functional Nanosystems Group, IIT and holds an ERC Starting Grant (Light-DYNAMO). She is also coordinator of a proactive FET collaborative grant (LIGHT-CAP). Her main research interests include the exploitation of functional nanosystems for energy and the environment. A Marie-Curie fellowship (global) brought her to the Molecular Foundry, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA, and the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Genoa, Italy, extending her knowledge to two-dimensional materials.
