Nikoleta Kotsina

Research Associate

Nikoleta studied physics at the University of Ioannina, Greece, graduating in 2008. In 2015 she obtained her PhD from the University of Ioannina where she investigated ionization/dissociation of small gas phase molecules with shaped intense laser pulses. In 2016 she joined the group of Prof. Dave Townsend at Heriot Watt University as a research associate, where she studied the non-adiabatic dynamics of small gas phase molecules initiated by Ultraviolet/Vacuum Ultraviolet (UV/VUV) excitation, employing time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopic experiments. She worked with various non-linear sources including non-linear crystals, four-wave mixing techniques in gas targets and, more recently, soliton driven tuneable UV generation in hollow-core photonic crystal fibres and hollow capillary fibres. Nikoleta joined the group in January 2022 and she is working on the extreme-soliton dynamics project.
