Loren Greenman

Loren Greenman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Kansas State University. His research focuses on theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical physics, with an emphasis on laser-molecule interactions and electronic structure methods.

• Ph.D. in Physics, University of Chicago (2011)
• M.S. in Physics, University of Chicago (2007)
• B.S. in Chemistry and B.Ch.En. in Chemical Engineering, University of Minnesota (2006)

His work addresses challenges in non-adiabatic coupling, high-lying molecular excited states, and unbound electrons during ultrafast laser experiments. He develops adaptive grid techniques and high-performance computing methods to model these systems.

Recent publications highlight his expertise in inner-shell photoionization, quantum control, and ultrafast photodissociation dynamics, with applications in molecular movies and energy conversion processes.

Loren’s group collaborates on projects involving time-resolved spectroscopy and photon-driven chemical reactions, supported by the Department of Energy. Graduate students Muhammad Sakhi and Josh Stallbaumer are part of his research team.
