Conversations with National Laboratories is a series of webinars with prominent researchers, who will talk and answer your questions about their career paths and research at the National Labs. Each talk will be followed by a 30-min Q&A session. These webinars can help you stay current with recent trends in your fields, learn about career opportunities, and set the stage for new professional relationships.
Our next conversation is with Dr. Linda Young - a leader in the field of atomic, molecular and optical physics; a Distinguished Fellow at Argonne National Laboratory, a professor of physics at The University of Chicago and former director of the X-ray Science Division at ANL.
Date/Time: July 15th at 12pm

Speaker: Dr. Linda Young, ANL
Abstract: The advent of the world’s first hard x-ray free electron laser (LCLS) in 2009 gave access unprecedented intensities of up to 1020 W/cm2 at Ångstrom wavelengths. This has allowed a systematic investigation of x-ray nonlinear phenomena in atoms, molecules and clusters over the past decade. A new era is dawning with the upgrade of the LCLS expected in 2021 which will feature tunable attosecond x-ray pulses at megahertz repetition rates – promising yet another new frontier for investigating ultrafast phenomena at ultrashort wavelengths.
