Felix Lüpke in the DFG Funding Program
Dr. Felix Lüpke from the Peter Grünberg Institute, Quantum Nanoscience (PGI-3), at the Forschungszentrum Jülich from the Helmholtz Research Field Information, has been admitted to the Emmy Noether Program by the German Research Foundation (DFG). This funding opens up the opportunity for outstandingly qualified early-career researchers to qualify for a university professorship by independently leading a junior research group for a period of six years.

An important prerequisite for the funding is an excellent research project. Felix Lüpke was able to impress with his proposal. The title: “Manipulation of 2D Superconductivity and Majorana States on the Nanoscale.” The goal of the Emmy-Noether group is the realization of novel superconductors in layered stacks built from individual layers only a few atoms thick. The production of such heterostructures is based on methods that Felix Lüpke and his team recently developed, among other places, at the Peter Grünberg Institute. In the superconductor layers, they want to investigate the localization and control of so-called Majorana states, which promise potential applications in quantum computing.
Felix Lüpke received the Excellence Award of the Forschungszentrum Jülich in 2019. With this award, the jury honored his doctoral work, for which he had modified the technique of a multi-tip scanning microscope. This allowed the early-career researcher to decipher the electronic properties of charge transport in quantum materials on the nanoscale.
