BioMy scientific interests have been largely focused on the intersection between ultrafast spectroscopy and materials science. I am particularly fascinated by optically triggered materials' dynamics in complex systems where unexpected collective effects occur on femtosecond timescale.
I obtained my M. Sc. degree from Sofia University, Bulgaria, studying the amplification of ultrashort laser pulses. During my graduate work in Case Western Reserve University my research shifted to interrogating semiconductor quantum dots with the help of time-resolved terahertz and transient absorption spectroscopy. In my following postdoctoral appointment at Los Alamos National Laboratory I developed a time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy instrument which we applied to track dynamics in heavy fermions, cuprates and 2D materials. In my first ~5 years at the Linac Coherent Light Source I was a beamline scientist at the Soft X-ray Materials instrument, while in the last ~10 years I have been developing new beamline and instrumentation (chemRIXS, qRIXS) tailored to the exciting new capabilities offered by the high repetition rate LCLS-II. -

BioI gained my PhD from the Blackett Laboratory Laser Consortium at Imperial College London, where my primary research project was the development of a new type of mass spectrometry for the structural analysis of protein, DNA and RNA molecules. This technology is known as two-dimensional partial-covariance mass spectrometry (2D PC MS). Here at Stanford I work at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), using the attosecond X-ray pulses produced by the newly developed XLEAP mode to study ultrafast electronic processes in molecules. We are developing and using new spectroscopic methods in the attosecond regime to observe the motion of electrons in complex molecular systems on their natural timescale. This helps us to understand how the coherent quantum dynamics of these electronic systems affect subsequent chemical motion.

Gilliss Dyer
Lead Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioBorn and raised on Kauai, I studied Mathematics and Physics at New College of Florida and received my bachelor's degree in 2000. I did my graduate work at the University of Texas at Austin, studying high intensity laser plasma science. After receiving my PhD in 2007 I stayed at UT and joined the Center for High Energy Density Laser Science, as a postdoctoral researcher and scientist, heading the experimental systems of the Texas Petawatt Laser. During this time I also worked at National Energetics designing and building commercial high power laser systems. Inspired by the revolutionary potential of hard X-ray FELs in the field of HED plasma physics I joined LCLS as the MEC department head in 2017.
