Research summary
AI-generated

Savini Bandaranayake's research uses ultrafast laser and X-ray spectroscopy techniques to study how electrons, spins, and vibrations move in materials on extremely short timescales (billionths to trillionths of a second). This work focuses on understanding metal oxide photocatalysts (materials that use light to drive chemical reactions like water splitting) and magnetic materials, with applications toward more efficient solar energy conversion and spin-based electronics.
