Tadas Balciunas

Dr. Tadas Balciunas is a Lecturer at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences at ETH Zurich, affiliated with the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry. His research focuses on ultrafast physical chemistry processes studied through advanced spectroscopic techniques.

Research interests center on physical chemistry and chemical physics, particularly ultrafast molecular dynamics and spectroscopy. Key areas include electronic dynamics in solutions, high-harmonic generation in condensed phases, proton transfer mechanisms, and laser-matter interactions. Experimental approaches frequently employ cutting-edge techniques like X-ray spectroscopy and time-resolved coincidence methods.

The publication record demonstrates strong focus on ultrafast phenomena across physical chemistry and optics. Recent work explores electron dynamics at conical intersections, proton transfer in aqueous systems, and advanced laser techniques for harmonic generation. Studies frequently combine experimental methods with theoretical simulations to investigate molecular processes at femtosecond timescales.
