Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Gabalski is a postdoctoral researcher at UC Davis specializing in ultrafast molecular dynamics driven by femtosecond lasers, with a Ph.D. from Stanford in Applied Physics focused on "Coherent Chemistry in the Gas Phase." Over eight years of experience across academia and government labs, he combines hands-on development of novel light sources and measurement apparatus with time-resolved experiments using XUV, X-ray, and infrared techniques. His thesis produced concrete advances—time-resolved inner-shell chemical shifts, valence-electron tracking in photodissociation, and discovery plus coherent control of strong-field associative ionization—demonstrating both experimental precision and control over quantum dynamics. Comfortable bridging instrument design and fundamental scattering/photoelectron measurements, he brings a rare mix of engineering rigor and physical insight to ultrafast spectroscopy.
