I like to say when asked why I pursue science, that it is to satisfy my curiosity, that I am by nature a searcher trying to understand. If you haven't found something strange during the day, it hasn't been much of a day.

Research Summary:

My research area is in the experimental atomic, molecular and optical physics in particular photon-atom interactions through polarization and photo-ionization spectroscopy using a novel nanosecond pump-probe pulse laser technique. Bayram group focus on the two following projects to investigate:

  1. Collisional dynamics between the excited alkali atom and rare-gas atom using a two-photon polarization spectroscopy using pump-probe technique,
  2. Rydberg state dynamics using photoionization spectroscopy in conjunction with electron imaging technique - fascinating and powerful technique that takes snapshots of the angular distributions of atoms.
