Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Attosecond Science and Technology

Luca Argenti received his degree in chemistry in 2001 from the University of Pisa, and his Ph.D. in chemistry in 2008, from the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa. From 2009 to 2010 he was postdoctoral fellow in the group of Eva Lindroth, at the University of Stockholm, working on theoretical attosecond spectroscopy of atoms. In Summer 2010 he joined the group of Fernando Martín at the Autonomous University of Madrid. Since 2016, he has been with the University of Central Florida where he leads the theoretical Attosecond Group at the Department of Physics and CREOL, and where he is now Associate Professor. His research focuses on the time-resolved study of the correlated motion of electrons in polyelectronic atoms and molecules. He is the recipient, in 2020, of the DOE CAREER award. From 2020 to 2022, he co-chaired the Theoretical Atomic, Molecular, and Optical physics Community (TAMOC). Michael Chini is an Associate Professor of Physics, with a secondary joint appointment in CREOL, the College of Optics and Photonics, at the University of Central Florida (UCF). He received his BSc in Physics from McGill University in 2007 and then conducted graduate research in attosecond science at both Kansas State University (2007-2011) and UCF (2011-2012), earning a PhD in Physics from UCF in 2012. He remained at UCF as a postdoctoral scholar in the group of Zenghu Chang and then as a Senior Research Scientist in the group of Martin Richardson, after which he joined the faculty in Fall 2015. His research focuses on high-order harmonic generation and attosecond source development, attosecond spectroscopy in gases and solids, and lightwave electronics. He is a recipient of the ORAU Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award, a Young Investigator Program award from AFOSR, and a DOE Early Career Research Award. In Fall 2024, he will join the faculty in the Department of Physics at the Ohio State University. Li Fang is an Assistant Professor of Physics, with a secondary joint appointment in CREOL, the College of Optics and Photonics, at the University of Central Florida (UCF). She received her PhD in Physics from University of Connecticut in 2009 and conducted her postdoctoral research at LCLS, SLAC Accelerator National Laboratory (2009-2014). After her postdoctoral work, she joined the Center for High Energy Density Science as a research associate at University of Texas at Austin (2014-2018) and the Physics Department at the Ohio State University as a scientist (2018-2019). She joined the faculty of physics at UCF in 2020. Her research concerns ultrafast and attosecond spectroscopy of charge dynamics in atomic, molecular, and extended systems. She is a recipient of a DOE Early Career Research Award in 2020.
