Group Leader

Jaime Gomez Rivas
I studied Astrophysics at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) and the Université de Liège (Belgium). I worked at the Space Research Organization Netherland from 1995 until 1997. In 2002, I received my PhD degree in Physics from the University of Amsterdam. I worked as postdoctoral researcher from 2002 till 2005 at the Technical University of Aachen (Germany). Since 2005, I lead the AMOLF group Nanowire Photonics at Philips Research in Eindhoven. My scientific interests are nanophotonics, plasmonics, semiconductor nanowires and THz photonics.
