John Tisch

Professor John Tisch heads the Quantum Optics and Laser Science Group at Imperial College London's Blackett Laboratory. A leading expert in ultrafast science, his work enables attosecond-scale investigations of electron dynamics in matter.

His research program focuses on:

• Generation and application of attosecond XUV pulses
• High-harmonic generation in solids and gases
• Ultrafast dynamics in molecules and solids
• Advanced pulse characterization techniques

Recent publications demonstrate extensions of harmonic generation cutoffs in solids, Bayesian optimization of dispersive waves, and novel attosecond measurement techniques. As founding chair of the Ultrafast Dynamical Imaging of Matter conference series, he shapes the field's international direction.
