ERC starting grant for Andrea Trabattoni

 

Helmholtz junior research group leader Andrea Trabattoni was just awarded an ERC starting grant for his project SoftMeter.

Using a novel approach combining a series of ultrashort, yet weak field laser pulses, the project aims at resolving ultrafast processes occurring at the interfaces of two different materials that are in the gas phase. Within a perturbative approach based on the concept of electron self-diffraction, SoftMeter will circumvent the drawbacks of strong-field spectroscopic techniques and the outcomes could have significant impacts for catalytic and solar harvesting technologies exploiting aerosols interfaces for instance.

Congratulations to Andrea for this great achievement!
