Passionate about exploring the uncharted territories of the electron world.
Born and raised in Mongolia, my primary interest is exploring the microcosm on its natural timescale when interacting with extremely short and intense light. I hold an MS in theoretical quantum optics from the National University of Mongolia and a PhD in experimental attosecond physics from POSTECH. Today, I am a Research Fellow at Griffith University and Quantum and Advanced Technologies Research Institute in Brisbane, bridging theory with cutting-edge experimentation.
My expertise includes few-cycle pulse generation, high-harmonic generation (HHG), and utilizing CEP-stabilized femtosecond technology with precise post-compression techniques. I also specialize in the end-to-end construction and optimization of attosecond beamlines to explore these fundamental dynamics.
Outside of academia, I am a nature lover. I enjoy being outdoors, traveling, capturing moments through photography, and cycling around Brisbane. I also spend a fair amount of time exploring local cafes in search of a great coffee.
