Research Interests

My research interests are in theoretical atomic physics--in developing new tools to increase our understanding of scattering processes in atomic systems using quantum, classical and semiclassical methods. More specifically, my research interests focus on:

  1. Break-up of multi-electron atoms and molecules driven by strong fields and attosecond pulses:  
    1. Agapi Emmanouilidou, ``Recoil collisions as a portal to field assisted ionization at near-UV frequencies in the Strong Field Double Ionization of Helium" submitted (2008).

  2. Photon induced electron dynamics and fragmentation of multi-electron atoms--multi-electron collision dynamics and threshold laws:
