Interests

My line of research is the study of the interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with matter, which has only begun to be developed 20 years ago and is called “Attophysics” or “Attosecond Physics” (1as = 10-18 s). When a laser illuminates an atom, a variety of ultrafast phenomena occur, such as photoionization, excitation and generation of high-order harmonics. Using the laws of quantum mechanics, the electrons ejected from the atom interfere with each other, forming a velocity map with multiple structures. By studying these ultrafast phenomena, the shortest times in history have been measured and the shortest lasers in the world have been characterized.
