Niranjan Shivaram studies how molecules and small quantum clusters behave when hit with ultrafast laser or X-ray pulses, tracking electron motion and molecular breakup on extremely short (femtosecond to attosecond) timescales. This work uses techniques like X-ray imaging, photoelectron and ion momentum imaging, and four-wave mixing spectroscopy, often carried out at large facilities such as the Linac Coherent Light Source. The research also involves developing instrumentation and software tools for these ultrafast measurements.
