​Senior Facility​ Scientist

​​​​Research Interests: Vibrational Surface SFG, nonlinear optics, development of novel light sources, photo-electron spectroscopy of gas phase molecules, ultra-fast dynamics.

Background: Gabriel obtained his PhD degree in Physics in Greece. His expertise lies in the domains of AMO and Chemical Physics and he has been using and manipulating a wide range of laser ligh​t sources to study fundamental and applied physical phenomena.

Gabriel first joined the Artemis and Ultra teams in May 2018 to work on development of optical parametric amplifiers for the 100 kHz IR upgrade project.He started work in the Ultra in August 2019 to lead the activity of the facility in the surface sum frequency generation spectroscopy and further develop its capabilities towards the ultra-short laser pulse regime. He is interested in developing new experimental approaches like the EVV 2D-IR spectroscopy, secondary sources and applications for the 100 kHz IR upgrade project and the rest of the Ultra lasers. In addition he maintains his curiosity and interest in more fundamental aspects like the study and control of ultra-fast dynamics in complex molecular systems using photo-electron spectroscopy.
