Research interests
- Laser ablation and laser deposition of films;
- Nanoclusters and their properties, in particularly nanoclusters formed in a laser ablated plume;
- Interaction of ultra-short laser radiation with matter: electron-phonon energy coupling, ionisation, ablation, and ion acceleration;
- Application of short-pulse laser-matter interaction phenomena in nanotechnology, medicine, micromachining, optical memory, photon science and technology, and art conservation.
