Michael's research focuses on electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. He investigates spin dynamics in novel materials, such as graphene nanoribbons, donor-acceptor triads or photoswitchable molecules. His research involves both the experimental characterisation of those systems as well as theoretical modelling of their properties. In particular, he is interested in spin-spin coupling processes. Furthermore, he developed fibre-optical setups that allows investigating the spin dynamics of a system under the influence of laser excitation. The use of light is particular appealing herein since it provides an ultra-clean technique to manipulate spin states, without the need of electrodes or magnetic fields.
