Experimental AMO Physics

Research Projects

My experimental research is in Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, with an emphasis on ultrafast molecular dynamics. I use femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy, Coulomb explosion imaging, and COLTRIMS to investigate molecular ionization, fragmentation, and structural dynamics.

Selected projects

Project 01

Ultrafast Dynamics of Iodomethane

This project investigates excitation, ionization, and dissociation in iodomethane (CH3I) using two-color femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. Coincident fragment measurements are used to distinguish intensity-dependent dynamics, including vibrational excitation, predissociation, and dissociative-ionization pathways.

PhD research project

Project 02

Ultraviolet Photodynamics of 1,2-Dichloroethylene

This collaborative project examines the photoinduced dynamics of the cis and trans isomers of 1,2-dichloroethylene using time-resolved Coulomb explosion imaging. Fragment momenta, ion yields, and kinetic-energy distributions are used to investigate isomerization and competing molecular dissociation pathways.

Collaborative research project

Project 03

Coherent Vibrational Dynamics in Trifluoroiodomethane

This collaborative project investigates coherent vibrational motion in trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) using time-resolved Coulomb explosion imaging. Time-dependent fragment-momentum correlations provide structural information about laser-induced nuclear dynamics.

Collaborative research project

Continuing research: Additional projects will be added as my doctoral research develops.
