groundbreaking research teams at the Nanotechnology Laboratory of
the Freiburg Materials Research Centre and the Department of
Microsystems Engineering at the University of
Freiburg. Dr. Krueger has extensive experience working
with academic and industrial partners including Bayer Technology
Services GmbH to synthesize semiconductor quantum dots and
integrate them into lighting and light conversion, photovoltaic and
bio-analytical applications. His recent authored publications
include research on graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes attached to
quantum dots or other nanomaterials for novel hybrid
composites.
"The depth and breadth of Dr. Krueger's experience in the
quantum dot and nanomaterials fields aligns perfectly with our
technologies and make him well-suited to accelerate our
commercialization goals," said Stephen
Squires, Founder and CEO of Quantum Materials Corp. "When
