Assistant Research Scientist Takele’s research focuses on exploiting light–matter interactions at the nanoscale to tailor the properties of functional materials. His work spans nanospectroscopy of molecular and quantum materials, neuromorphic devices, strong light–matter coupling, and single-molecule photophysics. By uncovering fundamental mechanisms and developing nanoscale control strategies of materials, he aims to enable practical applications in sensing, single-photon sources, and quantum information technologies.''
