DESY and CFEL researcher is now a professor of ultrafast photoelectron science.

DESY and CFEL scientist Andrea Trabattoni has accepted an appointment as Associate Professor in Ultrafast Photoelectron Science at Leibniz University Hanover (LUH). Working as a researcher at DESY since 2016 and as a junior professor at LUH since 2022, he was recently awarded an ERC starting grant to develop novel laser-based imaging tools for large molecules and interfaces with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. He will continue to divide his time between Hanover and Hamburg.

In his research, Trabattoni investigates the photo-induced electron dynamics in matter, with particular emphasis on atoms, molecules, and nanosystems. Though appointed at LUH, Trabattoni continues to conduct research at DESY: "I complement my research on photo-induced electron dynamics in matter with the unique table-top and large-scale facilities accessible in Hamburg. The Synchrotron Petra, the FELs FLASH, and the European XFEL represent a unique opportunity to study the quantum control of matter at unprecedented levels."
