Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies how intense laser light interacts with atoms, molecules, and plasmas, focusing on processes like high-order harmonic generation (a way of converting laser light into much higher-frequency light, including extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray wavelengths) and strong-field ionization (where powerful laser pulses strip electrons from atoms or break apart molecules). This work is relevant to developing new light sources and imaging techniques, such as using x-rays to visualize the breakup of molecules like C60 (buckminsterfullerene) under intense laser fields.
