Tamar Seideman

[1] She joined the Weizmann Institute of Science for her doctoral studies and earned her PhD under the supervision of Moshe Shapiro in 1990.

Here she developed the concepts of nonadiabatic alignment and molecular focusing in laser fields and the theory of time-resolved photoelectron angular distributions.

[6] She collaborated with experimentalist coworkers on the problem of the molecular phase in two-pathway excitation experiments and on current-triggered surface nanochemistry.

[7] Here she develops and applies quantum mechanical theories to understand phenomena including quantum transport and current-induced dynamics in molecular electronic devices; ultrafast nanoplasmonics and information guidance in the nanoscale; attosecond science and the interaction of matter with intense laser fields; and coherent control and coherence spectroscopies in isolated molecules and in dissipative media.

In related work, Seideman showed that one can guide light using nanoparticle arrays to create custom nanoplasmonics.

[11] This has included an investigation of charge transport through molecular and nanoscale electronic materials in an effort to improve the efficiency of solar cells.
