Advanced Spectroscopy

Emerging microscopy techniques are now capable of spatially resolving features beyond the diffraction limit, but have only demonstrated modest temporal resolutions (~milliseconds). Advanced microscopy techniques used to study ultrafast dynamics in nanostructured materials require temporal resolutions in the femto- to picosecond regime as well as the ability to probe energy flow in multi-dimensions including in space, momentum, and energy. In order to overcome these challenges, I am developing ultrafast (ps-fs) microscopy techniques aimed at resolving Fourier space dynamics and anisotropy in energy transport which are critical to the performance of emerging quantum states, photonic microstructures, solar cells, and light emitting applications.
