Professional skills

Research areas The focus of my research is the theoretical study of molecules in strong

laser fields. My main areas of interest are:

Calculation of ionization and high-order harmonic generation sig-

nals from molecules,

Exploring controlability of external and internal degrees of freedom

of molecules with infrared (IR) and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) laser

fields, e.g., alignment, orientation and vibration,

Investigating the possibility of experimentally imaging the vibra-

tional motion of molecules,

Studying of limitations of theoretical models that ignore for instan-

ce nuclear motion, multi-electron effects or the long-range character

of the Coulomb potential.

In addition I plan to investigate the physics of conical intersections as

well as laser controlled molecular junctions.

Technical skills I have experience with various analytical and numerical techniques, in-

cluding

Basis/close coupling method,

Strong-field approximation,

Grid methods.

Extensive experience collaborating with experimental groups, including

Femtolab at University of Aarhus and groups at the J. R. Macdonald

Laboratory, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas, USA.

Computer Experienced user of Windows, Linux and OS X.

Experienced Fortran programmer.
