Dr. Maia Magrakvelidze, assistant professor in the Physics Department, was invited to give a talk on June 20 at the Department of Computational Mathematics at Georgian Technical University in Tbilisi, Georgia, called Dissociation Dynamics of Diatomic Molecules in Intense Laser Fields.

The computation modeling methods Dr. Maia is using was the subject of interest of the Department, and future collaboration opportunities were discussed.

Maia Magrakvelidze, assistant professor of physics, and her student Hannah Killian, presented the results of their research at the 49th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics held May 28 to June 1, 2018 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The presentation, in the Time-Resolved Electron Dynamics and Attosecond Spectroscopy, was titled “Relative Delay among Br and Kr 4p, 4s, and 3d Photoionization.”

These results will hopefully help current experiments for investigating the time delay in photoionization processes of different systems.

The travel expenses were covered by UMW.

Maia Magrakvelidze, assistant professor in the Physics Department, co-authored an article with Himadri S. Chakraborty titled “Attosecond time delays in the valence photoionization of xenon and iodine at energies degenerate with core emissions” in the Journal of Physics: Conference Series 875, 022015 (2017), published online on Aug. 18, 2017.

Maia Magrakvelidze, assistant professor of physics, presented the results of her research at the 48th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics held in Sacramento, California, on June 5-9, 2017. Her presentations, in the Time-Resolved Electron Dynamics and Attosecond Spectroscopy, were titled “Attosecond relative delay among xenon 5p, 5s, and 4d photoionization,” and “Time-dependent local density approximation study of iodine photoionization delay.” These results are very important for current experiments for investigating the time delay in photoionization processes of different systems.
