Expertise

My area of research is theoretical atomic, molecular, optical and surface physics. Currently, my research focuses on resolving in time and space the motion of electrons and nuclei in ion-surface interactions and during the fragmentation of small molecules by ultra short and intense laser light pulses.

Research Interests: Modeling, theory, and numerical computation of interactions between electrons, ions, and intense laser light with atoms, molecules, clusters, and solid surfaces.

Research Interests and Projects:

  • Attoscience: Time-resolved photoelectron and high-harmonic emission from atoms, nanoparticles, and surfaces
  • Femtoscience: Laser-induced and -probed molecular dissociation
  • Ionic collisions with atoms, clusters, and surfaces. Highly charged ions
  • Electron-atom collisions. Negative ions
  • Theoretical and numerical methods in atomic and surface physics

Research Area: Atomic Molecular & Optical Physics
