Dr. Albert Polman, professor of photonic materials for photovoltaics at the University of Amsterdam, joins STEMoirs. We hear about his scientific journey, the thoughtful questions he asked himself on setting up and maintaining a meaningful scientific career, what he has found most rewarding, a bit about nanophotonics, and what is possibly his favorite rare earth element.
You can find more of his work through his group's website: www.erbium.nl
