Joana Alves successfully defends PhD thesis
APPLAuSE student Joana Alves successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled “Ultrafast mid-infrared unable sources” on September 19, 2023. Her work was supervised by Gonçalo Figueira, Hugo Pires (both at IPFN/IST) and Jens Biegert (ICFO, Spain).
During her PhD, Joana specialised in the study of ultrafast mid-infrared (wavelengths from 3-8 µm) laser technology, in particular nonlinear amplification of ultrashort pulses and their compression.
She evaluated strategies for…
