  University of Trieste/ Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN)

  May 2016 - Jul 2016

  Research Intern

  - M.Sc. Research Project: Modelled a phenomenological fully quantum effective description of photon-phonon interactions in pump-probe experiments. - Research achievement: Modelled the interaction between photons and phonons for both laser pumping and probing processes with a single non-gauge invariant phenomenological Hamiltonian. This was an extension to a previously proposed gauge variant Hamiltonian.
