Research areas

  • 1. Electronic resonances in low energy (0-50 eV) electron molecule collisions. 2. Formation of cation-anion plasma in Fermi's pseudopotential. 3. Long-Range Rydberg Physics and Ultracold Dynamics, Ion trapping and cooling. 5. Ultrafast and Attosecond time-resolved excited state dynamics of atom molecules and clusters. 6. Electronic structure theory (DFT, MP2, CCSD, ADC) and Quantum chemistry modelling (Qchem, Orca, Gaussian).

My research on basic spectroscopic techniques development and molecular collision dynamics analysis. I study the electron-matter and light-matter interactions and probe the fragmentation dynamics within a short time scale (less than a nanosecond).
