Time-Resolved Spectroscopy: An Experimental Perspective

Thomas Weinacht is a Professor of Physics at Stony Brook University in New York.

He received his B.S. in physics from the University of Toronto 1995 and a Ph.D. in

physics from the University of Michigan in 2000. He started his position at Stony

Brook University in 2002. His research focuses on controlling and following molecular

dynamics with strong-field ultrafast laser pulses. He has published extensively

in both physics and chemistry journals, with an emphasis on interpreting experimental

measurements. His research group has developed a number of experimental techniques,

and he has organized multiple international conferences and workshops in the

field of time-resolved spectroscopy. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society.

Brett Pearson is an Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Dickinson College

in Carlisle, PA. He obtained a B.A. in physics in 1997 from Grinnell College and

then a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Michigan in 2004. He was a postdoctoral

fellow at Stony Brook University before moving to his current position. At Dickinson,

Brett teaches across the curriculum and works with undergraduate students on

research related to both ultrafast pulse shaping and single-photon quantum mechanics.
