      \nUltrafast lasers for the study of materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The Ultrafast Condensed Matter Physics (UCMP) aims at the investigation of fundamental phenomena occurring in matter at ultrashort timescale. For this reason, we develop innovative ultrafast systems and techniques with the ultimate goal to understand and control how light interacts with matter to unveil the microscopic origin of the properties of materials that are of high technological interest<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
