ROBIN WANG, FINAL YEAR DPHIL STUDENT
I'm a final year DPhil working with Peter on novel optical probes to determine the ultra-fast dynamics of large amplitude plasma waves that are generated by focused multi-petawatt laser pulses in under-dense plasma. My research mainly focuses on ultrafast imaging with compressed sensing and machine learning for wakefield acceleration. I have developed the technology to the point that it has been spun-out into a dynamic new company (Living Optics Ltd) and I have been its CEO since its launch in 2020. I've built an ultrafast camera that gives 3D data from an otherwise 2D sensor, and it's my job to test its limits, and to understand the physics’ of transverse optical probing in a wakefield experiment using the CALA facility in Munich.
I did my undergraduate at the University of Melbourne in Physics and Spanish, and my masters on the ultrafast dynamics of things hit by XFELs (X-ray free electron lasers).
