Structural Dynamics with X-ray and Electron Scattering / ISSN (ePub)

Kasra Amini: Kasra completed his PhD at University of Oxford in 2017 on laser-induced Coulomb explosion imaging and postdoctoral positions on laser-induced electron diffraction at The Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO, Barcelona). Since 2021, Kasra is the junior group leader of the ultrafast electron diffraction group (UED) at Max-Born Institute (MBI, Berlin), focussing on high repetition rate UED imaging of transient gas-phase and condensed matter structures with high temporal resolution.

Arnaud Rouzée: Arnaud has expertise in ultrafast laser science, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, strong field physics and X-ray science. Dr. Rouzée is an expert on the fundamentals and applications of strong-field physics in ultrafast molecular science, including the development of novel methods to image coherent electronic and nuclear dynamics.

Marc J. J. Vrakking: After completing his PhD at the University of California at Berkeley in 1992 and postdoc positions at the National Research Council (Ottawa) and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Prof. Marc Vrakking led a scientific group at the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF) in Amsterdam from 1997 to 2011, focusing on the use of ultrashort (femtosecond and attosecond) extreme-ultra-violet (XUV) and X-ray laser pulses in studies of time-resolved atomic and molecular dynamics. In March 2010, he was appointed as director at the Max-Born Institute (MBI) in Berlin, and as a professor of physics at the Freie Universität Berlin. At MBI, Marc Vrakking is the head of Division A ("Attosecond Science") and leads a team of researchers that are both further developing and applying techniques to study electron dynamics on attosecond timescales as well as nuclear dynamics on femtosecond timescales.
