Prof. Carla Faria

BIOGRAPHY

Carla Figueira De Morisson Faria is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University College London. Her research focuses on theoretical strong-field laser-matter interactions. In particular, she considers laser fields that have stronger intensities than 10¹³ Wcm^-2. At these intensities, there is laser-induced scattering of electrons with their parent ions. Strong-field laser physics has a wide range of applications, including particle physics, plasma physics (in particular laser fusion), solid-state physics, novel X-ray sources, and attosecond science.
