My research focuses on accelerator physics and free-electron lasers. Particle accelerators are a great tool for studying beam dynamics, high energy physics, particle physics, nuclear physics, and developing novel radiation light sources. Free-electron lasers utilize electrons accelerated to relativistic speed to produce powerful radiation. Previously I worked at SLAC National Laboratory on the x-ray free-electron laser that is capable of producing attosecond x-ray pulses, short enough to probe electron dynamics in atoms and molecules. Currently I am working on the UH accelerator and free-electron laser in the Watanabe Hall, and I aim to establish an accelerator physics group at UH where students can learn from hands-on experience working with the machine.
