Speaker: Prof. Kiyoshi Ueda, Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials, Tohoku University, Japan.

Title: Making invisible visible using invisible light

Abstract: The talk will address how new-generation light sources, such as low emittance synchrotron radiation sources, x-ray free electrons lasers and attosecond laser pulses, make invisible visible, elucidate mystery of the beautiful nature and contribute to create our bright future.

About the Speaker: Prof. Kiyoshi Ueda is an authority in the field of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, being the author or coauthor of about 400 papers including more than ten review articles and chapters of books. He has given more than 100 invited and plenary lectures in international conferences, workshops, symposiums, and seminars.

His research centers photoionization and photofragmentation of atoms, molecule, and clusters by synchrotron radiation, femtosecond lasers, and short-wavelength (EUV to X) free-electron lasers (FELs). Areas of special emphasis include ultrafast dynamic imaging, probing ultrafast electron and nuclear dynamics, characterizations of transient excited states and their decaying processes, and developing the new spectroscopic methods for these studies.
