Research Interests

Theoretical Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics

My research program is centered around theoretical and applied atomic, molecular, and optical physics with connections to computational physical chemistry and nonlinear dynamics. We study quantum electron dynamics in atoms and molecules with a few to many degrees of freedom and their interaction with short and intense laser/light pulses. Specifically, we focus on ultrafast processes at the atto/femtosecond time scales (10-18/10-15 s) and the experimental techniques to observe those using advanced light sources.
