Arvinder Sandhu - Research Interests

I am an experimental ultrafast physicist working in the fields of Atomic, Molecular, Optical Science. My research is geared towards exploration of variety of phenomenon – from attosecond electron dynamics in atoms and molecules to the ultrafast response of nanomaterials.

Current research efforts in my group include -

  • Laser high harmonic generation for efficient XUV attosecond pulse production

  • High precision, attosecond resolved studies of electronic response in strong fields.

  • Velocity map imaging of photon-molecule interactions in the XUV regime.

  • Ultrafast, high-intensity response of nanomaterials.

  • Pulse Shaping, Raman Spectrosopy.
