Light-matter interaction at ultrashort time scales

When
-

Abstract: Nowadays, the duration of laser pulses can be as short as tens of attoseconds (an attosecond is one quintillionth of a second), In my talk I will discuss some of the basic principles behind the generation and application of attosecond laser pulses and the theoretical challenges to study the interactions of ultrashort laser pulses with matter.

Building the Microscopes of Tomorrow

When
-

Abstract:

X-ray microscopes are undergoing a revolution, driven by the availability of laser-like X-ray beams, fast X-ray detectors, as well as image advanced algorithms. Until recently, the spatial resolution of X-ray microscopes was 10x the theoretical (diffraction) limit. This talk will highlight recent advances in building near-perfect X-ray microscopes that can see better, and moreover, stroboscopically image the fastest motions in materials in real time.
