Ultrafast electron motion in solids governs key properties of materials that are used in daily life. Controlling this motion using laser light opens pathways to new technologies across photonics, thin-films, manufacturing, plasmonics, chemistry, biology and quantum computing. As intense light triggers a wide range of material responses, an exhaustive experimental characterization remains limited, creating a demand for deep, predictive understanding via sophisticated modeling.
Our research addresses this topic by developing a portfolio of models that describe light-matter interaction across a broad parameter space, including regimes where materials can be modified. With over 15 years of experience, we combine fast classical estimations with high-fidelity quantum simulations, leveraging supercomputing resources. This dual approach enables precise tuning of laser parameters, guides innovation, and supports both fundamental research and application-driven development.
