The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Alabama $299,305 on October 1, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to develop laser-integrated multimodal photoelectron spectro-microscopy for investigating laser excitation and manipulation of quantum materials. The award supports a fellowship for an assistant professor and training for a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Alabama Tuscaloosa. The research will be conducted in collaboration with Drs. Jerzy T. Sadowski and Abdullah Al-Mahboob at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, where place of performance is located. The project integrates single-shot ultrafast laser systems with synchrotron-based X-ray photoelectron spectro-microscopies to enable spatially resolved, multimodal characterization of coupled electronic, lattice, spin, and chemical dynamics in quantum materials. The work aims to advance understanding and control of light-induced metastable electronic states that have applications for optically switchable functionalities in future electronics, information storage, and quantum technologies. The fellowship establishes a new partner-level collaboration between the University of Alabama and Brookhaven National Laboratory, expanding Alabama's research infrastructure and sustained access to world-class synchrotron user facilities. The period of performance runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2028.
