Meet The Team
Amelle Zair
Head of Attosecond Quantum Physics Laboratory - Physics Department at King’s College London
Zakaria Dahbi
Zakaria is Marie Curie fellow ( MSCA-HORIZON EU) with Amelle Zair. His research is at the interface of Quantum dots and Attosecond Physics.
Emilio Pisanty
Emilio is a Proleptic Lecturer (associated professor) and a Royal Society University Research Fellow at AttoKings. His research focuses on the intersections of strong-field physics, structured light, catastrophe optics and quantum optics.
Nicola Mayer
Nicola is Marie Curie fellow ( MSCA-HORIZON EU) with Emilio Pisanty. His research is at the interface of topology and Attosecond Physics.
Margarita Khokhlova
Margarita is a Royal Society University Research Fellow. Her research focuses on the theoretical study of the generation of attosecond light pulses and their optimisation, as well as on ultrafast electron dynamics initiated by attosecond pulses in atoms, molecules and solids, including chiral molecules and topological solids.
Robert Jones
Rob is a postdoctoral researcher funded by the Royal Society. His work is on attosecond structure light.
