Welcome to the

The Zuerch Lab at the University of California at Berkeley experimentally explores structural, carrier and spin dynamics in novel quantum materials, heterostructures and at material interfaces to answer current questions in materials science and physical chemistry. For this we pursue a multidisciplinary research program that combines the exquisite possibilities that ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy and nanoimaging offers and closely interface with material synthesis and theory groups. We employ state-of-the-art methods and develop novel nonlinear X-ray spectroscopies in our lab and at large-scale facilities. Specifically, we are interested in experimentally studying and controlling material properties on time scales down to the sub-femtosecond regime and on nanometer length scales to tackle challenging problems in quantum electronics, information storage and solar energy conversion.

    Welcome Sadie!
    Nov 12 2024

    We extend a warm welcome to Sadie Siegel who joins our group as graduate student this fall. Sadie will conduct research on new frontiers applying solid-state high harmonic generation to complex chemical environments.

    New Cover: Journal of Physical Chemistry A
    Oct 24 2024

    We are excited to find that our cover suggestion for our article “Solid-State High Harmonic Generation in Common Large Bandgap Substrate Materials” was selected as supplementary cover by the Journal of Physical Chemistry A.

    Congrats Jackson!
