Nominator's project description

Prof. David S. Citrin is an Associate Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His scientific achievements in the field of the optical and electronic properties of semiconductors are numerous and are recognized world wide. One outstanding achievement was the first consistent approach to calculate the radiative lifetimes of semiconductor quasi-particles called excitons. During his coming stay in Braunschweig Prof. Citrin will work on the ultrafast spatio-temporal dynamics of carriers in opto-electronic switches.
