Matthias Kling is a Professor of Photon Science at Stanford University and Director of the Science, Research and Development (SRD) Division at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. He holds a courtesy appointment in Applied Physics. His career includes leadership roles at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) Munich, and Kansas State University.
Education: PhD in Physical Chemistry (2002) from University of Göttingen, Germany. Postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley and AMOLF. Research focuses on attosecond nanophotonics, ultrafast electronics, lightwave control in quantum materials, and aerosol chemical processes. His lab develops high-power laser systems and ultrafast spectroscopies for probing electron dynamics in nanoscale systems.
Key research areas include:
- Attosecond Science: Imaging electron motion in nanomaterials using X-ray free-electron lasers.
- Plasmonics: Studying plasmonic resonances and their impact on optoelectronic devices.
- Reaction Nanoscopy: Analyzing aerosol surface chemistry with femtosecond resolution.
- Laser Technology: Advancing OPCPA systems and THz/PHz spectroscopies.
Articles (2025-2023) highlight breakthroughs in attosecond X-ray pulses, lightwave-controlled quantum materials, and catalytic processes on ionized nanoparticles. His work bridges fundamental physics with applications in ultrafast electronics and quantum computing.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Ultrafast Electronics and Nanophotonics Group at Stanford and directs LCLS's SRD Division, overseeing advanced light source development. Collaborates globally on XFEL-based experiments and laser technology innovation.
