Lukas Gallmann

Prof. Dr. Lukas Gallmann is a Lecturer in the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich, affiliated with the Institute for Quantum Electronics (IQE). His research focuses on ultrafast laser physics, attosecond science, and high-harmonic generation. He investigates electron dynamics in condensed matter systems, including transition metals, MXenes, and semiconductors, using advanced spectroscopic techniques. His work bridges fundamental physics with applications in quantum technologies and materials science.

Research interests include ultrafast carrier localization, electron-phonon interactions, and the dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect. He has pioneered studies on petahertz electroabsorption spectroscopy and Floquet-Bloch resonances in materials like SiO₂ and MXenes. His contributions advance understanding of sub-cycle phenomena and optical response mechanisms in nanomaterials.

Publications highlight breakthroughs in attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, gas-phase high-harmonic generation, and ultrafast electron dynamics in 2D materials. His work is supported by Swiss photon science infrastructure initiatives outlined in community roadmaps.
