‍‍‍‍My research mainly focuses on generating isolated attosecond electron pulses and achieve attosecond temporal resolution in electron microscopy, or "Attomicroscopy", with the ultimate goal of imaging electron motion in real time and space. Our team has synthesized and characterized isolated attosecond (half cycle) optical pulses, and demonstrated electron motion control in dielectric, which paves the way for establishing the long-anticipated ultrafast switches, and extending the frontiers of the modern electronics and information processing technologies into petahertz realm.
