Biegert, Jens

ICREA Research Professor at ICFO (Institut de Ciències Fotòniques). Experimental Sciences & Mathematics

Jens Biegert received his Ph.D. from the Technical University Munich, Germany, in 2001. He is fellow of the German National Academic Foundation, was recipient of the a Marie Curie Fellowship in 2001, the OSA Allen Price in 2004, and was named Research Assistant Professor in the U.S.A. in 2001. He took appointment as tenured ICREA Professor at ICFO in 2007 and heads the attoscience and strong field physics group.


Research Interests

The potential of attoscience lies in retrieving information about the dynamics of quantum systems which cannot be gained otherwise through time-stationary energy-domain measurements. Combining coherent control, attosecond soft-X-ray (XUV) pulses, and powerful coincidence imaging techniques allows us to unravel those mysteries. It permits us to probe our most profound physics theories, provides a systematic approach to understand and control chemical reaction pathways, and could ultimately advance biological dynamic imaging.
The group works in a highly interdisciplinary field which fuses ultrafast laser physics, extreme nonlinear optics, atomic and molecular physics, XUV synchrotron optics, UHV technology, and electron-ion coincidence imaging techniques.
