Martin Eckstein’s research involves investigating how properties such as magnetism or superconductivity can be manipulated in extremely short periods of time using solid state structures with the aid of ultrafast spectroscopy. For example, this also involves switching between various states with varying properties, which could one day lead to new and fast communication technology. Martin Eckstein was awarded the ERC Grant at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter.
