Biography
Thomas Weinacht is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy. He received his PhD from
the University of Michigan, for which he received the outstanding thesis award from
the division of atomic, molecular and optical physics of the American Physical Society.
He joined the department in 2002, and was named a fellow of the American Physical
Society in 2012.
Research Statement
Tom Weinacht's research is centered on quantum control and time resolved spectroscopy.
He develops new approaches to follow and control the dynamics of small molecules on
ultrafast timescales (10^-15 seconds) using tailored light fields. His group develops
light sources, constructs new instruments, carries out measurements and collaborates
closely with theory in order to interpret the dynamics and develop new models.
