Research Areas: Photonics, Lasers, Plasmas

Our research program aims to unfold the many details in laser matter interactions and also to develop useful applications that could benefit Mankind. A comprehensive set of diagnostic and modeling capabilities to probe and to analyze the very complex, fast evolving and interrelating phenomena in laser matter interactions are being developed. Many of these diagnostics and models are being applied to a wide range of fields.

Current research projects include:

(1) Laser Ablation, Laser Plasmas, Relativistic Laser Matter Interaction, Laser Fusion

(2) Laser Based Thin Film Engineering, Laser Based Nanofabrication and Laser Sensing

(3) Instruments and Devices Development for Photonics, Space Science, Medical Science, Environmental Engineering
