Research summary

Charles J. Schwartz's research uses laser-based techniques to study fast physical and chemical processes, including how molecules break apart and reform under intense laser pulses, and how spectroscopy can measure temperature and chemical composition in extreme environments like post-detonation fireballs. The work combines ultrafast laser control of molecular reactions with diagnostic measurement techniques for combustion and energetic materials research.
