We will investigate unresolved questions in
market segmentation research that will provide answers to the following
questions as outcome:
How to pre-assess market segmentation data structure.
How to improve the partitioning.
How to visualize and present the resulting segmentation solutions.
How to generalize the outcomes over multiple periods of time.
These tasks represent fundamental methodological research. The scientific
significance consequently lies in knowledge development and methodological
improvement. Findings will also enable both academic researchers using market
segmentation methodology as well as practitioners applying such techniques
to significantly improve the quality of their market structure analyses.

Title:
Photon induced nonlinear absorption
and transport in semiconductor nanostructures
Summary:
Photon induced transport in electronic
systems is of great importance in fundamental science
and in development of new optoelectronics devices.
In this project we aim to study the microwave radiation
induced dc transport and nonlinear absorption in high
mobility systems. The result will shed light on newly
discoveredzero-resistance state in semiconductor nanostructures.
The expected outcome is an improved understanding
on the mechanism of reducing dc resistance in low-dimensional
electronic systems.
