Research interests:
I am an atomic physicist. My main research interest is fundamental
light-matter interactions, and especially the control of quantum
systems using ultrafast laser fields. I develop new sources of
ultrafast laser light in the infrared,
visible, ultraviolet, and x-ray regions of the light spectrum.
