Curriculum Vitae

Short Biography Dr. Alon Bahabad spent his childhood years in Nazareth Ilit, a modern-day twin city to the historic Nazareth which some of its timeless landmarks influenced him deeply (like the ancient market and hummus abu-murad). He got his B.Sc from the Technion in 1996. Due to some sensitive involvement his following six years are somewhat obscured and will not be disclosed without the involvement of a very generous sum. In 2003 and 2007 he got his M.Sc and PhD respectively for studying the role quasi-periodic order can play for the purpose of quasi-phase-matching of nonlinear optical processes. After which he vowed to only be involved in the future with projects containing "quasi" a prime number of times. On the eve of 2008 he joined the KM group where he currently studies theoretical and experimental aspects of high harmonic generation. In his spare time he is involved with Epsilon Gamma Delta -- a semi-secret society vowed to eradicate the use of Greek letters from science.

Curriculum Vitae

Short Biography: Dr. Mathias obtained a PhD in Physics from the University of Kaiserslautern (Aeschlimann research group), Germany in July 2008. His focus of research are investigations of ultrafast phenomena on surfaces. This includes the combination of ultrashort femtosecond laser systems with surface science technology in order to develp new methods for measuring ultrafast relaxation processes in real time with high temporal resolution. In spring 2009 Dr. Mathias spent a semester lecturing Solid State Physics and Mathematical Physics at the University Kigali Institute of Science and Technology, KIST, in Rwanda, Africa. He joined the Kapteyn-Murnane group in July 2009 and is currently working on ultrafast magnetization and surface dynamics using X-ray pump-probe spectroscopy techniques.
