Research interests
-Dynamics of unbound systems in quantum mechanics
More specifically:
-Laser ionization of atoms and molecules in the high frequency, high intensity regime (including the relativistic regime)
-Coherent manipulation of quantum dots
-Resonance phenomena
-Numerical and analtytical methods for solving the time-dependent equations in quantum mechanics
