We welcome Thomas Metzger as a new PostDoc in our group. He will be partially involved in the project about dynamics connected with order-disorder vs. displacive effects in condensed matter systems; and partially involved in the project about the effect of coherent phonon dynamics on THz properties.

We welcome Alicja Karpinska as a new PhD student in our group. She will be working on dynamics connected with order-disorder vs. displacive effects in condensed matter systems. Her goal is to use time-resolved x-ray diffraction and absorption spectroscopy to look at long- and short-range order dynamics to identify the length scale of order parameters through a phase transition.

We welcome Lukas Heckendorn as a new PhD student in our group. He will be working on developing an experimental method to quantitatively determine the transition type of the structural phase transition in a general crystalline material. Specifically, he will investigate the ultrafast dynamics of the short-range and the long-range order in Germanium Telluride and other crystalline materials undergoing a structural phase transition by using optical and x-ray probes.
