Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Thumm is well known internationally for his outstanding research in theoretical atomic, molecular and surface science. He has made major contributions to attosecond science and to strong field physics. He has worked on atomic and molecular systems driven by laser pulses as well as on ultrafast physics on surfaces. During his stay in Germany, he aims to develop computational methods for attosecond science and work in close collaboration with experimental groups.
