Yaguo Tang

Yaguo Tang studies how electrons behave in atoms, molecules, and solid materials, using techniques like electron momentum spectroscopy (probing how electrons are distributed and move inside molecules) and strong-field/attosecond laser physics (using extremely short, intense light pulses to track and control electron motion on ultrafast timescales). Recent work also explores high-harmonic generation—a process where intense light interacting with matter produces new, higher-frequency light—in topological insulators, a special class of materials with unusual electronic surface properties. This research bridges experimental measurement and theoretical/computational modeling of electronic structure and ultrafast dynamics.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, peaking around 2018-2020, dipping to zero in 2024, and resuming with a few papers in 2025-2026, suggesting a slowing but still active output.
