My research focuses on using femtosecond pulses of light to control and measure the properties of quantum materials on their elementary timescale. To do this, we exploit the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from THz frequencies up to hard X-rays. We specialize in exploiting the high brightness and coherence of the recently developed X-ray lasers to study quantum materials in new ways.
I teach the master's course in Quantum Mechanics, and I teach the nonlinear optics section of the Lasers and Optics bachelor's course.
My work is international in nature and I frequently collaborate with groups in Europe, USA and Asia.
