From Friday 5th of February 2021, QuantumLaP.eu becomes the Group of Ultrafast Photonics, led by T. J.-Y. Derrien. The group is a part of the Department of Scientific Laser Applications led by prof. Bulgakova, and is hosted by the HiLASE Centre (T. Mocek), part of the Institute of Physics.

A press communication was released on LInkedIn in April 2021 to announce this modification.
The website of HiLASE has been modified on June 23rd 2021 with the up-to-date position of group leader.
Note that website of FZU.cz could not yet be modified by the PR team due to IT safety reasons.

The group is presently kindly funded by Horizon 2020 project Center of Excellence (T. Mocek), and by the National Excellent BIATRI project (prof. Bulgakova).

The group is presently counting 1 PhD student MSc. Krystof Hlinomaz who has been focusing at laser-irradiated thin films. The group is meant to grow in the next months with:

  • Hiring a new PhD student focusing on TDDFT in 2021,
  • Applying to ERC consolidator grants (deadline 20th April 2021).

The group is heading towards developing the processing of materials using ultrashort laser pulses, being fully assisted by first principle simulations and condensed matter physics. More details will be disclosed along the year.

Note that the updates of the corresponding websites is taking months due to the number and availability of people involved in the chain.
