Prof. Ulrich J. Lorenz

Ulrich Lorenz studied chemistry at the University of Würzburg, where he discovered his interest in molecular physics. During his PhD in the group of Prof. Thomas Rizzo at EPFL, he worked on the spectroscopy and dynamics of cryogenic molecular ions in the gas-phase, which included a fair amount of instrument development. For his postdoctoral work in the group of Prof. Ahmed Zewail at Caltech, he switched to the field of time-resolved electron microscopy, studying the dynamics of nanoscale systems. In 2016, he accepted a tenure-track Assistant Professor position at EPFL. His research is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation as well as the European Research Council.
