A state-of-the-art femtosecond laser system is used in conjunction with a high harmonics generation source and a monochromator to produce femtosecond laser pulses in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range. These laser pulses are employed to track the ultrafast dynamics of molecules such as bond breaking and bond making, with time , mass-, and energy-resolution. The main goal of this research is to fully understand the molecular dynamics of photoinduced and photocatalytic reactions at solid surface and interfaces.
Successful applicants interested in conducting research within this laboratory will work closely with graduate students and will gain insights into ultrafast spectroscopy, generation of extreme ultraviolet laser pulses, synthesis of novel photocatalytic materials, characterization techniques and ultrahigh vacuum science.
