PhD in theoretical High-harmonic Generation Spectroscopy, Sorbonne University, Paris, France (Deadline: 12.05.2025)

A PhD position is available at the Lab of Theoretical Chemistry of Sorbonne University (Paris), under the supervision of Eleonora Luppi. Here the title and a brief description of the project:

Microscopic-Macroscopic connection in High-Harmonic Generation: applications to organic and biological molecules.

We aim to establish a link between the microscopic response of individual molecules and the macroscopic propagation of harmonic fields in a medium, in order to develop a comprehensive theoretical description of high-harmonic generation (HHG) spectroscopy. This integrated approach will enable us to better understand the underlying physical processes by considering both electronic interactions at the molecular scale and propagation effects in realistic experimental environments. We will apply this methodology to the study of harmonic generation in organic and biological molecules, allowing us to explore their electronic structure and ultrafast dynamics. This approach will provide a detailed insight into ionization processes, electronic coherence, and chemical reactivity.

Collaborators: Dr. Marie Labeye (ENS, Paris), Dr. Davide Faccialà and Dr.
