Tom received his Ph.D. from Imperial College London in 2020, and conducted postdoctoral work at Stanford University / SLAC National Lab between 2021 - 2024. He started his own 'ultrafast control lab' at UCF in December 2024. Outside the lab, Tom enjoys indulging in all-things spooky and science fiction.

Alex joined the lab in the summer of 2025 and is helping the group organize the lab in preparation for the arrival of the femtosecond laser system. Besides a passion for chemistry, Alex really enjoys teaching and aspires to become a chemistry college professor, maybe even overseas somewhere!

Brandon joined the lab in the summer of 2025 and is performing linear and non-linear optical characterizations of molecular & nanoscale materials. When not in the lab, Brandon enjoys fishing, swimming and going to the beach.

Kashvi joined the lab as a volunteer over the summer of 2025 and is especially interested in how nanomaterials can be used to explore the quantum mechanics of energy transfer, excited states, and electron delocalization. Outside the lab, Kashvi enjoys art, reading different genres, and lifting weights.
