Peter Zalom, Ph.D.
I am a theoretical physicist specializing in quantum technologies, working on the edge between analytic and numerical methods. My expertise lies in various renormalization group techniques, with a strong background in (quantum) field theories, Green’s functions, Kondo physics and superconductivity. I’ve been working in the field of quantum devices since 2018, where I developed the […]
Tomáš Procházka, Ph.D.
My primary research focus is on two-dimensional conformal field theory with higher-spin symmetries. Quantum field theories in two spacetime dimensions that exhibit additional invariance under conformal transformations represent a remarkable class of theories, many of which are exactly solvable. This solvability arises from their infinite-dimensional symmetry algebra, known as the Virasoro algebra. By extending the […]

I focus on interdisciplinary research in laser applications, particularly in laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) testing, high-power laser systems, and laser-matter interactions for applications in space, defence and semiconductor industry. My work includes developing precise LIDT measurement techniques, advancing high-power diode-pumped solid-state lasers, and optimizing laser processing window for various materials. At the HiLASE Centre, part […]
Gabriele Maria Grittani, Ph.D.
In my scientific work, as leader of the electron acceleration group of ELI-Beamlines, I am interested in unleashing the potential of this new compact acceleration technology in the field of fundamental science and societal applications. At ELI-Beamlines, we have two laser-driven electron accelerators: ELBA (GeV, 3.3 Hz) and ALFA (50 MeV, 1 kHz). With ELBA, […]
