Tobias Witting

Dr. Tobias Witting is a Senior Scientist at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI), Berlin, Germany, within the Department A2: Ultrafast XUV-Physics. His research focuses on attosecond science, ultrafast laser physics, and the development of cutting-edge laser technologies. He holds a DPhil in Atomic & Laser Physics from the University of Oxford (2005–2009) and a Diplom-Physiker from the University of Münster, Germany (2003–2005).

**Research Interests**: Attosecond physics, nonlinear optics, high-harmonic generation, ultrafast pulse compression, and XUV spectroscopy. His work includes developing OPCPA systems for attosecond pump-probe experiments, phase-locking of attosecond pulse pairs, and characterizing ultrafast laser pulses at extreme intensities.

**Key Projects**: Member of projects such as 'Ultrafast Laser Physics and Nonlinear Optics', 'Time-resolved XUV science', and 'Implementation of Lasers and Measuring Techniques'. He contributes to advancing attosecond pump-probe techniques, achieving terawatt-level pulse compression, and creating high-repetition-rate laser sources for real-time electron dynamics studies.

**Publications**: Over 50 peer-reviewed articles in journals like Science Advances, Optics Letters, and Physical Review Letters, focusing on attosecond metrology, ultrafast dynamics, and laser technology. Notable works include 'Terawatt-level three-stage pulse compression' (2024) and 'Control of photoelectron-ion entanglement in H₂' (2023).

**Labs & Teams**: Part of MBI’s Division A and the Quantum Optics and Laser Science group at Imperial College London (past affiliation). His research integrates theoretical and experimental approaches to advance attosecond science and its applications in materials and molecular physics.
