My field of research is accelerator and beam physics, a discipline rich in complex non-linear dynamics phenomena, theoretical and computational challenges. We design, build, and use the state-of-the-art experimental equipment for exploration of beam physics questions and provide tools for inquiry into the fundamental aspects of nature. Relativistic electron (and sometimes positron) accelerators are also known as brightest human-made light sourcesin the widest range of photon energies.
Some of the topics in my research include photoinjectors, space charge dominated beams, linear and nonlinear beam dynamics, next generation X-ray sources such as energy recovery linacs and free-electron lasers.

Areas:

• Accelerator Physics
• Photoinjectors
• Space Charge Dominated Beams
• Next Generation X-ray Sources
• Energy Recovery Linacs
