My background is atomic and molecular dynamics in ultrafast laser pulses, investigating ionization and generating vibrational and rotational wavepackets. I've diversified into using XUV pulses from a monochromatic HHG-source to initiate ionization and excitation, which overlaps with synchrotron and XFEL studies. Recently I have been generating electrons from nanoscale metal tips with laser pulses, which will be accelerated to ~30keV, and used for femtosecond electron diffraction and microscopy.
