Research Area

Theoretical Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics

We are investigating the interaction of intense femtosecond and attosecond light pulses with atoms and molecules. We developed theories to interpret and predict the breakup of molecules, the electron momentum distributions, the high-order harmonic generation, the characterization of few-cycle pulses and the application of attosecond pulses. We are studying how to do imaging of molecules with lasers. We continue investigations of ion-atom collisions at low energies and the issues of quantum chaos in helium. (expanded description)

In the past we have studied multiply excited states of atoms, hyperspherical approach to few-body systems and ion-atom collisions.
