Suzan Canbas is a PhD student in the Department of Physics at King’s College London, working under the supervision of Dr. Amelle Zair. She previously earned her MSci in Physics with Biophysics at King’s College London where she conducted her Master’s project “Imaging Black Holes” under the supervision of Prof. Ruth Gregory. In this project she studied the behaviour of a light ray around a black hole and applied this concept to compute a theoretical image of the photon ring around a Schwarzschild black hole.

Suzan is currently pursuing her PhD in the field of Attosecond Physics, in AttoKing’s research group. Her research focuses on high harmonic generation in solids and quantum materials, including quantum dots and Mott insulator. In addition, she investigates high harmonic generation in biological molecules such as uracil and thymine to gain insight into their electronic dynamics.
