We just came back from our first-ever Summer Retreat.
In a world in crisis, it is ever more important to maintain a strong sense of community and mutual support.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this fantastic weekeend and to more to come!
Congrats, Prof. Sergio Carbajo (UCLA/SLAC) on joining HPLSE’s Editorial Board!
HPLSE leads in #LaserScience, covering #PlasmaPhysics, #FusionEnergy & #ParticleAcceleration, key to next-gen tech. Carbajo’s expertise in #UltrafastOptics will drive the journal’s impact.
Our UCLA team collaborated with DESY scientists to demonstrate superradiant light sources using femtosecond/attosecond electrons.
This research advances:
🔬 #Hyperspectral tech
⚡ #Attosecond physics
🏥 Medical #radiation devices
More updates soon!
Meet Jesus Perez, our newest member at UCLA.
Jesus will be working on RF synchronization for laser and photonics devices, and electron beam compression techniques. He joins us with BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Welcome to the Cooperative, Jesus!
We’ll strive to demonstrate a new methodology to produce attosecond X-rays from first-principles for cost-effective and on-chip scalable X-ray photonic devices in #semiconductor, #heterogeneous integration, and #medical applications.
Thanks to a recently awarded #NSFfunded grant, we will soon embark on the next stage of one of our main lines of research in coherent #quantum #electrodynamics.
Meet Eesha Jain, our newest member at UCLA.
Eesa will be working on #quantum and #coherent transition #radiation driven by free electrons and controlled by novel QED phenomena with a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering (Bioengineering minor) at UC Irvine.
Welcome to the Cooperative, Eesha!
“Capturing, manipulating, and emitting high-frequency waves and lights drives my passion for exploring the fundamental limits of light-matter interactions,” notes Hao, “paving the way for the next generation of photonic, biosensing, and communication technologies.”
Congratulations to our PhD candidate, Hao Zhang, for being awarded the SPIE Optics and Photonics Scholarship.
His work cuts across academic and national lab priorities by focusing on nonlinear optics, advanced pulse shaping for ultra-high-brightness light sources, and photonic transduction.
