Research Interests

My research interests center around fast dynamics in condensed matter, investigated by means of coherent light sources such as the Linac Coherent Light Source at SLAC. Related to this topic, I am also involved in the effort of developing a new generation of x-ray synchrotron optics, necessary to take full advantage of the beam quality of today's light sources.
