Research
My research interest is to investigate the electron motion in atoms, biochemically relevant molecules, and nanosize systems. In my research, I employ the tools of attosecond technology and develop pump-probe schemes to capture the electron dynamics in the investigated targets with sub-femtosecond resolution. Since 2021, I have been leading a research team to investigate the electron dynamics involved in nuclear transitions
