February 19, 2008
Two Postdoctoral researchers, Dr. Carles Serrat and Dr. Rajan Jha; two visiting scientists, Päl Lovhaugen and Valentina Parigi; two PhD students, Alexander Grün and Alberto G. Curto; and two students, Daniel Lambisto Castro and Mathieu Tur, have joined the Institute.
Dr. Carles Serrat joins Prof. Jens Biegert’s group. With UPC and the University of Vic, is an expert in modeling coherent interactions in atomic and molecular systems. He will strengthen the experimental efforts of the AUO group through simulations of the strong-field interaction of intense few-cycle laser light including propagation effects.
Dr. Rajan Jha is joining the Nanophotonic Devices group led by Prof. Gonçal Badenes. He will work on the development of novel fiber-based devices for sensing applications.
Päl Lovhaugen joins Prof. Dmitri Petrov’s group. He is assisting with the experiments on measuring Raman spectra excited near metal structures.
Valentina Parigi joins Prof. Morgan Mitchell’s group. She will be working in the project Quantum light sources for quantum memories. She is a visitor who is doing her PhD at LENS, in Firenze, Italy. She will be working on narrow-band quantum light sources.
Alexander Grün from Technical University of Vienna in Austria, joins Prof. Jens Biegert’s group. He is a Ph.D. student and will investigate multi-particle coincidence imaging of strong field effects.
Alberto González Curto joins Prof. Van Hulst’s group. He will work in the nano-antenna project. Nano-antennas play a double role in the context with molecular samples: they influence the molecular emission and they control the local excitation field. Alberto will investigate both the directive properties of optical antennas and advanced driving modes of resonant antennas.
Daniel Lambisto joins Prof. Jürgen Eshner group. Daniel will complete his Master studies with an experimental project in our laboratories. He will upgrade the wavemeter, an interferometer which allows for measuring the wavelengths of all our lasers with very high precision (1 part in 10 million), and which is a central tool shared by all projects.
Mathieu Tur joins Prof. Romain Quidant’s group, where he will work on novel lithography methods.
