Sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Sandia National Laboratory This research project is focused on understanding ultrafast laser interaction with matter. Our goals are: 1) To understand mechanisms of ultrafast laser ablation process in various materials, including metals, semi-metals, and dielectric materials 2) To develop and utilize femtosecond time-resolved diagnostic methods to investigate the energy transport processes during ultrafast-laser matter interactions 3) To develop multiscale numerical models, including finite difference, molecular dynamics, and ab-initio models to investigate ultrafast laser induced transport phenomena Also see in Nanoscale and Ultrafast Energy Transfer Research.
