Michael Scott Belsley is an Associate Professor with Habilitation at the University of Minho, Portugal, affiliated with the Department of Physics. His office is located in Building 06.01.17.10 on the Gualtar Campus. Contact information includes phone numbers 253 604 339 / 604 060 and email belsley@fisica.uminho.pt.
He completed his PhD at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA), University of Colorado, under Dr. John Cooper, focusing on far-wing spectroscopy of atomic collisions. He later conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford (with Professor Paul Ewart) on four-wave mixing techniques for gas-phase collisions, and at the University of Oregon (with Professor Michael Raymer) on non-classical states of light.
Since establishing his research group at the University of Minho in 1992, his experimental work spans:
- Nonlinear optical materials: Development and characterization
- Quantum & ultrafast optics: Spectroscopy, metrology, light scattering
- Complex systems: Energy transfer dynamics, light propagation in random media
- Collaborations: Cold atomic gases with Nobel laureate Alain Aspect's group
