Biography
Cong completed his master's degree at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Science (IMP, CAS). He is currently a PhD student at King’s Department of Physics, in the Attosecond research team (part of the Photonics & Nanotechnology research group).
Thesis title
- Investigation of nonliner optical properties (high-order harmonic generation) in solids and metamaterials
- Investigation of hot carriers' movement (created by surface plasmon resornance) in aluminum nanorod
Research interests
- High Harmonic Generation from solid material (ZnO, Diamond) and metamaterial (metallic nanorod arrays) to produce attosecond laser pulses
- Using Pump-probe technique(transient absorption measurement) to characterise the electron movement dynamics in solid material
- Attosecond laser pulse measurement and analysis
PhD supervision
Supervisors: Dr Amelle Zair and Dr Wayne Dickson
