Shuai Li

Shuai Li is a staff scientist in the AMO Group of the CSE Division at Argonne. His research interests include the understanding and control of ultrafast molecular dynamics induced by light or X-ray absorption in liquid and gas phases, particularly the nonequilibrium electronic and structural dynamics of aqueous systems under ionizing radiation/radiolytic environments. His expertise is in ultrafast optical pump-probe spectroscopy (VMI, TOF, TA) and X-ray spectroscopy at XFELs and synchrotrons.
