His research interest is the measurement and control of
transient phenomena at atomic time-scales and length-scales. The major
questions that motivate his research include:
1. How does a
system approach equilibrium after sudden pertubation?
2. Can
intermediate states be manipulated in real time to alter outcomes?
3. What new
exotic behaviors can be identified under transient conditions?
He seeks to answer these questions by making molecular
movies – recording events with very high spatial resolution and a very fast
shutter speed. Tools used in his
research include ultra-fast lasers and synchrotron x-rays used either alone or
in combination. Visit his research site https://sites.google.com/site/elandahl/Home
