Reading Frankenstein ~30yrs ago sparked my love for science. That's why this Halloween, I'm excited to share my new role as an Asst. Prof. @UCFChemistry! Coming to life Jan '25, @HopperLab will create ultrafast control tools for materials & device (MAD) science #NewPI #FloridaMan

[Nature Photonics @NaturePhotonics]

New open access Article online: Strong ultrafast nonlinear optical response from megaelectronvolt electrons in semiconductors.

Excited to contribute to a new @NaturePhotonics paper w/ @Diana_Jeong_PhD @StanfordRad @LindenbergLab: we flip UED at @SLAClab, using a MeV electron pump + vis probe to track #ultrafast radiation–matter interactions relevant to medical imaging: https://t.co/50rBQTdYPp @doescience

[Tom Hopper @ThomasRHopper]

Continuing my obsession with “pump–control–probe”, after years w/ Vis, IR & THz, we’ve now gone X-ray at #LCLS @SLAClab, enabling the first real-space + time imaging of coherently controlled molecular wavepackets @PhysRevA
