 Research Interests
|
|
Dr. Berrah’s research focuses on investigating the interaction of molecules and extended systems with weak and strong electromagnetic fields produced by various light sources. Her recent research interests are in the areas of ultrafast molecular dynamics, non-linear physics, and time resolved studies of molecules with emphasis on long and short wavelength radiation, ultrafast time scales and strong laser fields. Her current research involves the use of intense femtosecond and attosecond pulses from table-top lasers and free electron lasers (FEL) in the XUV, VUV and X-ray regimes to probe physical and chemical processes that happen on ultrafast time scales. The research activities aim to advance quantitative understanding of electron correlations, charge transfer, charge migration and proton transfer to ultimately control energy transfer from laser radiation to quantum systems. This physics-based research impacts chemistry, the environment and biology. |
