Short Biography
Chunlei Guo received the B.S. degree in physics from Changchun Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics in China in 1994, and Ph.D. in physics from University of Connecticut in 1999. His Ph.D. research was on studying nonperturbative behaviors of small molecules in strong laser fields using femtosecond laser techniques. Subsequently, he performed his postdoctoral research in studying ultrafast dynamic processes in solid materials under high-intensity laser radiation at Los Alamos National Laboratory. In 2001, he left New Mexico for New York, joining the Institute of Optics as an Assistant Professor.

Research
Professor Guo’s general research interest is in high-intensity femtosecond laser interacting with matter, including gas, solid, and plasma phases. Some examples include, in gas phase, understanding multielectron effects of atoms and molecules in a variety of strong field phenomena; in solid materials, studying electronic and optical processes in the highly nonequilibrium regime; in various matter, exploring novel processes of generating nonlinear optical radiation.
