Ciao a tutti !

Herewith, I would like to say Hi to all the members of the iStOMPS consortium!

“Hello, I am iStOMPS!”

My name is Alessandra Bellissimo, and I am a postdoc in the Ultrafast Laser Group in the Institute of Photonics at TU Wien. Until now, I have mostly studied the fundamentals of the electronic response of materials. To this end, for several years already I have been performing “coincidence”-type spectroscopic experiments on solid surfaces, to investigate the elementary mechanisms of the emission of secondary electrons. In another project, I am pursuing the objective of studying the complex electron dynamics in metal surfaces, in particular focussing on the collective electronic response—so-called plasmon resonances. My latest project on these subjects is called “TRES-CHIC-ESt” standing for “Time-Resolved Electron Spectroscopy: a Challenging Highly Innovative Collective Excitation Study” (Grant Agreement No. 101022318). This project was funded by the European Commission as an Individual PostDoctoral Fellowship within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions of the Horizon-2020 programme.

I am eagerly looking forward to bringing my scientific background and specialisation in various spectro-microscopy techniques into the consortium. Thank you for having me with you Liza, Sebastian, Lorenz, Hongtao, Lujia, and Rahul !!

Lujia joins iStOMPS

Hello, everyone. My name is Lujia Zhou. I did my Master course in Optical Engineering on Tiangong University and finished in 2021. Now I am a PhD student of the Ultrafast Laser Group in the Institute of Photonics at TU Wien and joining iStOMPS in Subproject B. My task is about the XUV spectroscopy with isolated magnetic fields from laser pulse collision. I hope that I can learn more about optics within the iStOMPS consortium.

Rahul joins iStOMPS

My name is Rahul Kumar Jingar, I finished my BS-MS studies in Chemistry and Physics at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune in 2021. During my Master’s studies, I worked on the prediction of magnetically induced current densities and molecular magnetic properties.

I am a part of Subproject C, where the main goal of my Ph.D. would be to develop accurate and computationally feasible methods for the prediction of magnetic dipole-allowed absorption and emission spectra of different target molecules.

Lorenz joins iStOMPS

Hi to the iStOMPS team!

My name is Lorenz Grünewald, and I have just finished my Master’s studies in Physics at the University of Innsbruck. In my Master thesis project I performed studies on the absorption behaviour of nitrate anions in the UV region both via experimental and theoretical approaches.

I am looking forward to investigating the exclusive influence of the magnetic component of electromagnetic light on light-matter interactions from a theoretical as well as experimental point of view (Check out Subproject A and Subproject C if you want more information).

Elizaveta joins iStOMPS

Hello, my name is Elizaveta Gangrskaia, and I am happy to become a new PhD student in iStOMPS!

I finished a double degree programme at the Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology (Finland) and at the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (Russia) and got an MSc in Physics and an MSc in Technology. In my Master’s thesis I was studying (both experimentally and theoretically) microparticle diamagnetic trapping to develop a levitodynamics platform. During my Bachelor’s studies, I was researching metal nanostructures on glass substrates for Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy applications.

Within Subproject A, I will work on experimental generation of enhanced isolated magnetic fields and their implementation for spectroscopic studies of lanthanide ions.
