Ultrahigh resolution terahertz near-field microscopy for moiré materials
When light interacts with matter, two types of electromagnetic fields are generated. Read more
Ultrafast Laser Based Novel Terahertz Accelerators
Terahertz-driven acceleration aims to drastically shrink the size, and cost of future particle accelerators compared to conventional radio-frequency (RF) technology. Read more

Ultrafast microscopy of quantum materials
In some materials, quantum effects are so strong that they can dominate how light interacts with matter. A well-known example is the exciton, which is created when an electron and a hole bind to form a new type of particle, referred to as quasiparticle. Read more
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) - Slotted photonic crystal waveguides as a platform for surface enhanced Raman detection of hydrogen (AWE and University of St Andrews)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
Project Description. The detection of hydrogen gas is important in many industries (petrochemical, civil nuclear, transport etc) due to its highly flammable nature. Read more
Optical attosecond laser sources for next-generation ultrafast science
Ultrafast laser pulses allow us to follow fundamental quantum processes such as chemical reactions and electron transport at their natural timescale. Read more
