Consortium
The ULTRACHIRAL Consortium brings together 10 leading European groups that specialize in fields where improvements of chiral sensing, through cavity-based methods, will lead to important breakthroughs. Specifically, the 10 groups, and the complementary fields of expertise that they bring to the UTLRACHIRAL project, are:
The Rakitzis group at IESL-FORTH
[Chiral Cavity-based Polarimetry]
The Altug group at EPFL
[Bioengineering, chiral plasmonics]
The Ritchie group at Oxford University
[Mid-IR spectroscopy]
The Budker group at Johannes Gutenberg University
[Ultra-sensitive (conventional) polarimetry]
The Vollmer group at the University of Exeter
[Microresonators, single molecule detection]
The Williams group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry
[Atmospheric chemistry and Forest ecology]
PHOTEK Limited in Hastings, UK
[Ultra-fast detectors, and integrated fast data acquisition]
The Thermos group at the University of Crete, Department of Medicine
[leads a larger group with expertise in Pharmacology (Dr. Thermos), toxicology (Dr. Tzatzarakis), ophthalmology (Dr. Tsilimbaris), and Natural products (Dr. Katerinopoulos)]
The Vamvakaki group at the University of Crete, Department of Material Science
[HPLC, and functionalized chiral surfaces]
The Kafesaki group at the University of Crete, Department of Material Science
[Theory for Microresonators and chiral plasmonics]
