Director Kyung Taec Kim has gained worldwide recognition as a scientist for proposing a method to compress attosecond pulses. He has also achieved significant breakthroughs, including the discovery of novel extreme ultraviolet radiation applicable to nano-imaging and semiconductor technologies. Through the IBS Center for Relativistic Laser Science, he will focus on advancing the study of strong-field quantum electrodynamics using high-power lasers.
The Center for Relativistic Laser Science develops advanced laser technologies and conducts research on relativistic high harmonic generation and stable particle (proton and electron) acceleration. It aims to create extreme conditions by colliding relativistically accelerated particles with high-energy photons and studying strong-field quantum electrodynamics effects. The center will also pursue experimental control and measurement methods, provide theoretical explanations, and contribute to a fundamental understanding of physical phenomena under extreme conditions.
