Research Focus

Christina Hofer is a postdoctoral fellow at the Quantum Matter Institute. She completed her PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics/Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich in 2021. Her research focused on the development of field-resolved spectrometers in the mid-infrared spectral range, used to detect changes in the composition of human blood samples for early cancer detection.

Here at QMI, Christina applies her ultrafast laser and spectroscopy expertise to building spectrometers both for an application in mining and the study of low-dimensional materials developed at the institute.

As a woman in physics/optics in particular, Christina has been working in a male-dominated field for a decade. She considers creating an environment where particularly women are seen and listened to a crucial step towards more equality. When not in the lab, you can find Christina at a skating rink or exploring the beaches and mountains around Vancouver.
