Shingo Toyoda

I am a postdoctral scholar at UC Berkeley with expertise in experimental condensed matter physics. I received Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo under the supervision of Prof. Takahisa Arima, where I worked on the nonreciprocal optics in multiferroic materials. Then I joined emergent photodynamics research team at RIKEN CEMS as a postdoctral researcher, where I studied nonlinear optics in strongly correlated electron systems. I am now working on ultrafast dynamics of quantum materials in Prof. Orenstein's group at UC Berkeley physics.
