Meet The Team
Amelle Zair
Head of Attosecond Quantum Physics Laboratory - Physics Department at King’s College London
Xiaozhou Zou
Xiaozhou is a PhD Student investigating attosecond coherent control of molecular dynamics
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.
Benjamin Miller
Benjamin is a PhD student in X-metrology: Ben investigates in particular the production of complex laser field for X-metrology and explore the implementation of these technique on XFELs.
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.
Cong Zhao
Cong is a PhD Student on attosecond measurement of carrier dynamics in metamaterials at Attoking's.
Anne Weber
Anne is a PhD Student in caustics and catatrophes modelling of cut-off High Harmonic Generation at AttoKing's.
Seraphine Oakley
Seraphine is a PhD student at Attoking's. Her project is focused on attosecond structured light
