Francis Walz's research spans ultrafast laser spectroscopy of molecules and the study of thin-film oxide materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties. Earlier work examined how strain, oxygen content, and fluorination affect perovskite oxide thin films (materials with a specific crystal structure used in electronics), while more recent work develops advanced laser-based techniques to measure fast molecular processes on femtosecond (quadrillionths of a second) timescales. There is also a single publication touching on theoretical constraints related to fundamental physics symmetry-breaking models.

Publication output has been modest but continuous over the last decade, fluctuating between 0 and 3 papers per year with an average of about 1.4 per year in the last five years, suggesting steady rather than rapidly growing or declining activity.
