Adham Naji
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioAdham Naji is a Staff Scientist at Stanford's Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Stanford University. His research and teaching interests are in mathematical physics and its application to problems in electromagnetic field theory. This includes problems in wave theory, beam physics, field-particle interactions and dynamics, wave guiding, geometric perturbation of resonators, coherent radiation and photon science. He is particularly interested in mathematical analysis, geometry and theoretical techniques that help illuminate our understanding of various wave phenomena and interactions, whether in nature or in the laboratory.
Adham received his PhD in 2010 from the University of Bristol, with the Outstanding Contribution Award (MobileVCE), for his work on the analysis and design of reconfigurable planar resonators using geometrical perturbation techniques. He served in research and faculty (assistant professor) positions between 2011 and 2018, with focus on teaching and research in electromagnetic wave theory. In 2019, he joined the Particle Physics and Astrophysics Department at Stanford University as a Research Scholar, and in 2021 Stanford’s Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) as Staff Scientist. Adham is also an Honorary Visiting Fellow at the University of Bristol, UK.

Adi Natan
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioDr Natan leads the Non-Periodic ultrafast X-ray Imaging group at the Stanford PULSE Institute, where the research focuses on imaging ultrafast atomic motion in systems that interact with complex fields and environments, mostly using ultrafast X-ray FEL pulses. The purpose of this research is to study light-matter interaction in the shortest length and timescales, to uncover the interplay between correlated electronic motion and relaxation, nuclear motion, and photo-absorption processes. The research team develops experimental and computational tools to image quantum dynamics at the atomic scale, with the aim to overcome the limits of current approaches that rely on modeling and simulation. The research also leverages recent advances in ultrafast x-ray lasers, like the LCLS at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and helps develop effective protocols, new modalities, detection schemes, and demonstrates important new capabilities as soon as they become feasible. In addition, Dr Natan is the co-PI of the Strong Field AMO physics task at PULSE, where he studies strong-field light-matter interaction in atoms and molecules, in particular, light-induced conical intersections, imaging strong-field ionization dynamics, and attosecond electronic delays.
Dr Natan received his PhD in Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science, where he worked with Prof. Yaron Silberberg on coherent control, strong field interaction, nonlinear spectroscopy, and quantum optics. He was later a postdoctoral fellow at PULSE under the supervision of Prof. Phil Bucksbaum working on strong field AMO physics, and ultrafast X-ray science.
