Projects involve world-class research taking place at different departments at UCL on fundamental theoretical and experimental aspects of ultrafast phenomena.
Research on ultrafast phenomena concerns small systems (mainly Physics and Astronomy), larger systems such as radicals, ring polymers, liquids, solids (mainly Chemistry) and a fundamental understanding of optical phenomena to ultrafast optical processing devices (mainly Electrical Engineering). Indicative projects of our work are listed below.
Simulating electronic excitation dynamics in molecular materials:
Our goal is to understand the quantum dynamics of electronic excitations in nanoscale molecular materials.
Ultrafast spectroscopy to explore photophysics in materials for optoelectronics:
Focusing on the laser spectroscopy of conjugated organic materials such as conducting polymers.
Break-up of molecules interacting with XUV and X-ray laser pulses:
Exploring the interaction of molecules with free-electron lasers (FELs), which are short-duration and short-wavelength pulses.
Designer lighting: a radical approach to improving quantum technologies:
The design, prediction and explanation of highly efficient molecules for organic light-emitting diodes and quantum technologies.
