European FP7 Grants
In 2005 Alexandra did her Ph.D. in theoretical physics at Princeton University in the Plasma Physics Laboratory under Prof. S. A. Cohen, Director of Program in Plasma Science and Technology. Her Ph.D. research topic was on "Nonlinear dynamics inside the magnetic field-reversed configuration (FRC)". She joined Prof. Ursula Keller's group on September 2010 and won FP7 Marie Curie Grant for an international incoming fellow. She is supported to conduct her theoretical research in Ultrafast Lasers and Attosecond Dynamics (ULAD) and started on April 1st, 2011 for the duration of 24 months. Her long-term career objectives are a tenure-track or tenured professor position at a major research university.
A.G. Stepanov (Russian Academy of Sciences), one of the pioneer of high power THz generation with tilted pulse front together with J. Hebling (Stepanov, Hebling, and Kuhl, Appl. Phys. Lett., Vol. 83, 3000, (2003)) will join our group in Geneva for 2 years on a European FP7-mobility fellowship from June 1st, 2011. This will constitute a major contribution to the non-linear THz spectroscopy activities in Geneva.
