Our group is interested in exploring ultrafast dynamics in condensed matter systems using various time resolved tools like femtosecond pump-probe transmission/reflection spectroscopy, picosecond Accoustic strain pulses, second harmonic generation and time and frequency resolved terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. The pump and probe pulses range from UV, VIS, IR to THz wavelengths. Some examples of excellent candidates to use THz and femtosecond pulses are 2D systems like 2DEG/2DHG, 2D layered materials, topological systems, solar cells, strongly correlated systems and artificially created meta-materials. One of the recent interests of our group is to examine phase transitions in condensed matter using the wonderful experimental tools made out of femtosecond pulses. Another direction of our interest is to study possible damage to biological systems due to intense THz pulses and THz imaging of biological systems and superconductors.

 “The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.
