Research

Continuously since my bachelor studies, my research interest lies in the creation, manipulation, and characterization of ultrashort laser pulses. I have worked on digital holography using pulsed lasers, developed new pulse measurement techniques, wrote pulse retrieval algorithms based on multi-variable optimization procedures, and simulated, designed, and built setups for post-compression of high energy (mJ-class) laser pulses.
