About Me

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.
