Giuseppe Sansone

Giuseppe Sansone is a full professor of experimental physics at the University of Freiburg, leading the Attosecond and Strong Field Physics group. He holds an Internal Senior Fellow position (Sep 2024–Apr 2025) and previously held postdoctoral fellowships at RIKEN (Japan) and the Max-Planck-Institute (Germany). His work focuses on attosecond metrology at free-electron lasers and ultrafast molecular dynamics using coincidence spectroscopy. Key contributions include the development of the Extreme Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI-ALPS) in Hungary. His research spans attosecond pulse characterization, quantum control in extreme UV domains, and coherent control mechanisms in molecular systems.

• Education: PhD in Physics (2004, Politecnico Milano), career progression from assistant to associate professor at Politecnico Milano before joining Freiburg in 2016.

Research interests include: attosecond temporal structure analysis, nonlinear XUV applications, wave-packet manipulation in Rydberg states, and femtosecond polarization shaping. His experimental setups leverage seeded free-electron lasers and advanced spectroscopic techniques.

Publications highlight advancements in photoelectron interferometry, resonance dynamics, and ultrafast nuclear motion studies. His work bridges atomic/molecular physics with cutting-edge laser technologies.

• Awards: JSPS Short-Term Postdoc Fellowship (2007), Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (2009-2010).

Lab leadership: Director of the Attosecond and Strong Field Physics group at Freiburg, contributing to ELI-ALPS infrastructure development. His team focuses on time-resolved XUV-IR coincidence spectroscopy and novel attosecond timing tools.
