Dr. Slava Smartsev

Position at Malkalab: PhD

Focus: Developing and imploying a novel, long-focal depth optical element (Axiparabola) towards the goal of dephasingless acceleration. Development of spatio-temporal metrology.

Current: Dr. Smartsev is conducting postdoctoral researcher at Laboratoire d’Optique Appliquée in France focusing on employing the axiparabola in a few cycle, kHz laser system.

Dr. Celine Hue

Position at Malkalab: Postdoc

Focus: PIC simulations on shock injection for the optimization of parameters for different electron use cases.

Current: Dr. Hue is currently residing in France and working for Ansys, optimizing data managment.

Daria Raspopova

Position at Malkalab: Msc

Focus: Improving control of gas density profiles for more efficient and stable laser-plasma acceleration

Current: Daria is currently living in France and working on mastering French.

Eitan Soussan

Position at Malkalab: Intern

Focus: The development of the axiparabola for use in dephasingless acceleration. Data analysis and optimization.

Current: Eitan is currently studying physics at Ecole Normale Superieure Lyon and is aiming to become a researcher in plasma physics

Theotim Berlioz

Position at Malkalab: Intern

Focus: The development of gas profiles optimized for laser guiding over many Rayleigh lengths.

Current: Theotim is currently doing a master IFCP M2 at the Ecole Normale Superieure after which he will do a PhD in the field.
