Research

My research interest focuses on the few-femtosecond UV pulse generation for ultrafast spectroscopy. I will perform complementary experiments using both advanced table-top laser sources as well as world-class FEL facilities to capture chiral transients occurring on attosecond to femtosecond timescales.
