Nonlinear Optical XUV-IR Mixing for Imaging of Electric Fields

Develop bright femtosecond VUV (~8 eV) and XUV (50–100 eV) sources for nonlinear wave-mixing experiments. These will be combined with infrared and mid-infrared femtosecond pulses for imaging nanoscale electric fields in advanced materials and devices.

Quantum Imaging of Electric Fields

Advance ghost/quantum imaging techniques aiming for ~200 nm resolution or better to probe electric fields in materials and devices. The project is closely linked to ongoing work in attosecond quantum optics and explores the intersection of quantum nonlinear optics, photonic devices, and attosecond photonics to develop novel imaging modalities.

Attosecond Quantum Optics

Investigate the quantum optical properties that emerge during attosecond phenomena, such as high-harmonic generation and strong-field ionization. This project builds on pioneering work published by our group (Nature Photonics, 2025) in collaboration with theory partners including Prof. Brabec at the University of Ottawa.

PhD student position in ultrafast imaging of molecular processes (June 2023)

Our team is studying the ultrafast dynamics of individual molecules in the gas phase. The molecular dynamics is imaged using an ultrafast camera (called COLTRIMS or reaction microscope) which allows to measure the 3-dimensional momentum of single electrons and their parent ions. To trigger and interrogate such dynamics, we use intense femtosecond laser pulses.

We are looking for a highly motivated and talented PhD student with a strong background in physics, chemistry, or a related field to join our research team to shoot molecular movies of small and not-so-small molecules using this camera.
