Zhu Xiaosong

Doctor Zhu Xiaosong received his Ph.D. degree in Physical Electronics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, in 2013. In the same year, he joined the Department of Physics as a lecturer in the School of Physics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He has been engaged in the theoretical study of high-order harmonic generation and strong field ionization from molecules. Their goal is to (tomographically) image the molecular orbital structure or detect the ultrafast dynamics in molecules from harmonic spectra and photoelectron spectra.
