A recently published article on the University of Latvia website introduces readers to Anete Sapne – a doctoral student at the UL and researcher at the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia (ISSP UL) – and her study of materials that could become a key component in future optical computers – technologies that promise to process data much faster and more efficiently than today’s devices.
Her research focuses on nonlinear optics to better understand how different materials interact with intense laser light. The goal is to identify materials suitable for creating optical elements that can serve as crucial building blocks for next-generation computing.
At ISSP UL, she works in the Organic Materials Laboratory, where state-of-the-art equipment and a supportive environment foster innovation. Beyond her research, Anete actively mentors younger students, participates in international projects, and engages with the broader academic community – we are proud that the future of Latvian science is powered by such bright young minds.
