We are proud to announce that Professor Kasper Steen Pedersen has received a generous grant of 3,392,149 DKK from the Novo Nordisk Foundation through the call Project Grants in the Natural and Technical Sciences to his groundbreaking project, “Optically Actuated Valence Change in van der Waals Crystals.”

The project aims to develop a novel method to control the electronic and magnetic properties of van der Waals crystals (vdWCs) through molecular alloying and light.

These vdWCs, composed of stacked two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic materials, have the potential to revolutionize advanced electronic and quantum devices due to their unique ability to modulate charge, light, and heat at the atomic level. Kasper Steen Pedersen’s research could lead to reconfigurable vdWC-based materials that dynamically adapt to optical inputs, opening new possibilities for flexible, efficient electronic and photonic devices. The success of this project could transform the application of materials in future technologies, enabling novel functionalities in quantum computing and beyond.
 
We look forward to follow Kasper’s exciting journey and the groundbreaking results that undoubtedly will emerge from this project.
