Jens Biegert

Jens Biegert is ICREA Professor at ICFO (The Institute of Photonic Sciences) leading research in Attosecond X-ray Science, Extreme Photonics, and Quantum Dynamics. His group develops advanced technologies to investigate electron and nuclear dynamics in atoms, molecules, and solids using attosecond soft-X-ray pulses and coincidence imaging techniques.

Major research themes include:

• Attosecond spectroscopy of condensed matter systems
• Machine learning applications in laser-induced electron diffraction
• Valleytronics and quantum control in 2D materials

He coordinates multiple EU projects including ERC Advanced Grant 'TRANSFORMER', FET-OPEN 'OPTOlogic', and MSCA 'Smart-X'. Recent publications demonstrate breakthroughs in quantum optical characterization of high-harmonic generation and material phase transitions.
