Ivana Matoušová Víšová

Ivana completed her PhD at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University in Prague and at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Her topic was the study of surface-mediated biomolecular interactions in complex biological media applied to functional low-fouling coatings and biosensor development. Ivana has now joined the Juffmann group with an MSCA postdoctoral fellowship. Outside work she is an artist. She loves dancing and sports and teaches oriental dance and yoga.

Hanieh Jafarian

Hanieh comes from Iran where she completed her BSc in Optics and Laser Engineering. She then went on to complete a MSc in Photonics making her the only qualified person in the Juffmann lab to build a microscope. In her free time Hanieh enjoys long walks along the Donau and hanging out with friends.

Martino Zanetti

Martino grew up in Milan, but his heart is in the mountains. He loves all kinds of adventures and dangerous activities involving rocks and snow at high altitudes and in wild or uncomfortable conditions. His career in physics began at the age of 3, when he destroyed the toys his parents gave him in order to understand how they worked. Later in life he became more serious and decided to study physics at the University of Milan, specialising in non-neutral plasma physics.

Ilia Zykov

Ilia grew up in Siberia. Up in the mountains he naturally acquired a love for hiking. He enjoys ballroom dancing, playing piano and photography. Sometimes he even likes doing Physics. Ilia first joined the Juffmann Lab as an undergraduate working with Dante. After this amazing experience working with such an inspirational supervisor he decided to join the Juffmann Lab for his PhD.

Timon Zipfelmaier

For Timon, physics has always been a way of exploring the strange elegance of reality. He is currently studying for a Master's degree at the University of Vienna, specialising in quantum optics and electron microscopy. What keeps him hooked? It's the fact that the same fundamental quantum effects keep reappearing — familiar, yet full of surprises, like old friends showing up in new clothes.

Laszlo Jiresch

Laszlo finished his bachelor here at the University of Vienna and has joined the group for his masters thesis. He is working on the project of coherent electron-beam beam-shaping. In his spare time, he is involved as a student representative. Furthermore he likes to be outside hiking, climbing or bikepacking.

Tilman Kraeft

Tilman completed his bachelor at the University of Rostock before moving to Vienna. He is now a master student in the Juffman group, working with Luis, Martino and Zdeněk on the integration of a high-power femtosecond laser with an electron microscope. In addition to physics, he is enrolled in the Master's programme in Epistemology of Science and Technology at the University of Vienna. In his free time he likes to explore artistic and political environments with his friends.

Luis Alfredo Ixquiac Mendez

Luis is doing a Masters in Mathematics, specialising in Logic and Geometry and Topology. Electromagnetism is one of his favourite areas of physics. The phrase "Whenever someone notices a new behaviour that no one has seen before, a set of events that occur with such a frequency that we simply can't ignore, when that happens, a new element in the set of human knowledge has been born" (The Mechanical Universe... And Beyond), brought Luis to science.

Philipp Redfern

With a career as a professional surfer or musician seemingly out of reach, Philipp decided to become a physicist instead. About to start his Master's degree here in Vienna, he decided it would be a good idea to get some practical experience, which led him to join the Juffmann Lab. He still enjoys all kinds of sports with a board under his feet. He also likes to annoy his flatmates with his homemade analogue synthesizer, making all kinds of weird and funky noises.

Victoria Helm

Victoria completed her Bachelor's degree in Physics at the University of Vienna, and is now continuing her studies. As part of her Master's thesis, she joined the Juffmann lab to work on the FLIM project. Outside of her studies, she enjoys bouldering, practising martial arts, playing the piano and listening to heavy metal.

Susanna Pöckl

Susanna joined the group to work on her bachelor's thesis. She has always been interested in science and physics, and in how the universe works in general, probably because she has been a huge Star Trek fan for as long as she can remember. When she isn't in the lab observing bacteria under a microscope, she can be found out on her racing bike or climbing indoors.

Alexandra Pernisova

Alex is a Bachelor's student of Physics at the University of Vienna. They have joined the group as a part of their Bachelor's thesis in the electron wavefront shaping team and are currently continuing there as a part of the VDSP summer internship. Alex enjoys lab time, laser time and working with their colleagues. In their free time they also enjoy hanging out in Bratislava, visual arts and cycling around Vienna.

Florian Sauer

Florian is a passionate piano player who decided to start studying Microbiology after losing a bet.  He has since paid his way out of the bet and decided to pursue a degree in Physics where he gets to write long and fancy equations on blackboards. It's still not clear if he actually enjoys this or simply lost another bet. He's the one on the left in the picture but it would be more impressive if he were the one on the right.

Ugo Lair

Ugo is a French Master's student specialising in engineering optics who is currently completing an internship at the Max Perutz Labs in Vienna. He is passionate about the physical sciences, particularly the application of optics to biological systems. This internship provides him with a valuable opportunity to apply his technical knowledge to real-world research. Outside of the laboratory, he enjoys playing basketball and maintaining his curiosity about all things scientific.

Magnus Macmillan

Magnus is a chemical physics student from Glasgow who is very passionate about science. He also has a keen interest in football and travelling!

Zdeněk Nekula

Zdeněk is originally a beekeeper, which is a family tradition. As beekeeping and nanotechnology are very similar, both clean, complex and small, Zdeněk decided to become a microscope developer. The first microscope he built was a laser scanning Kerr microscope in CEITEC Brno. Then he worked in the ThermoFisher factory for electron microscopes. And now, finally, he is combining all his experiences here in Vienna, where he is trying to control an electron microscope with a laser. In his free time he likes long walks in the mountains, swing dancing, martial arts and parties.
