I am an atomic physicist. My main research interest is fundamental light-matter interactions, and especially the control of quantum systems using strong and short-wavelength ultrafast laser fields. I develop new sources of ultrafast laser light in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, and x-ray regions of the light spectrum. A publication list is available at online.
