Job opportunities
Opening: Graduate Research Assistant
Recent progress in attosecond laser pulse technology have made
it possible to access a fundamentally new regime of quantum physics,
where the complex, correlated dynamics of electron can be captured,
observed, and controlled in real time. We are now able to address
questions such as how light can be used as a catalyst to control
chemical reactions by controlling the electrons within a molecule.
Theoretical work has the opportunity to identify the dominant mechanisms
on these ultrafast time schale and pave the way for future experiments.
Ab-initio numerical simulations of the time-dependent Schrödinger
equation are a suitable tool for this task. In a project funded by
DOE we will use such simulations to analyze different schemes of
coherent control of chemical reaction at the level of electrons.
We are looking for a motivated graduate student to become involved
in these theoretical and numerical studies. If you are interested contact
Andreas Becker at andreas.becker(at)colorado.edu.
We always are looking for motivated undergraduates, graduate students,
postdocs and visiting scientists with interest in atomic,
molecular and optical physics, in particular the theory of
ultrafast intense
laser science and numerical simulations.
