NYU Chemistry Welcomes New Faculty Member Norah Hoffmann

Dr. Norah Hoffmann joins the NYU Chemistry research faculty in January 2024 as Assistant Professor in the Simons Center for Computational Physical Chemistry.  Norah earned her doctoral degree at the Max Planck Institute Hamburg under the direction of Prof. Angel Rubio and conducted her postdoctoral research at Columbia University in the group of Prof. Timothy Berkelbach. Research in the Hoffmann Group at NYU will be focused on all things light-matter interaction, from classical to quantum. By linking material science and quantum optics it aims to unlock the potential of controlled light-matter interaction to pave ways for theory and simulations of new modes of catalysis, quantum materials, and quantum information devices.
