Meet the experts.
Lynkeas originated at the Walter Schottky Institut, TU Munich. Our patented metasurface was developed during Jonas Krakofsky's PhD in the group of Prof. Mikhail Belkin, who continues to support the company as scientific mentor. The team combines THz physics, photonics, spectroscopy, hardware, and deep-tech commercialisation.
