Bio:
Ulrich Lorenz studied chemistry at the University of Würzburg, where he discovered his interest in molecular physics. During his PhD in the group of Prof. Thomas Rizzo at EPFL, he worked on the spectroscopy and dynamics of cryogenic molecular ions in the gas-phase, which included a fair amount of instrument development. For his postdoctoral work in the group of Prof. Ahmed Zewail at Caltech, he switched to the field of time-resolved electron microscopy, studying the dynamics of nanoscale systems. Since 2016, he has been a group leader at EPFL. His research has been supported by an ERC Starting Grant as well as a Consolidator Grant by the SNSF.
