Imaging electrons and atoms in action
Dr. Manish Garg
​I am a research group leader at Max Planck Institute for solid state research (FKF) in Stuttgart. The focus of my research is to integrate the attosecond technology with scanning tunnelling microscopy/atomic force microscopy to realize a four-dimensional quantum microscope to capture electrons in action, both in space and time, in atoms, molecules and two-dimensional materials.
