During her doctoral degree at Cambridge University, Jana Zaumseil conducted research in the field of organic electronics. In Erlangen, she focused mainly on the synthesis and research of novel nanomaterials that can only absorb and emit light at specific wavelengths, depending on their size. In this way, these materials can be influenced and controlled to enable them to be used for optoelectronic components.
