Zhijiang Chen

Zhijiang Chen is a postdoctoral fellow researcher at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and NSERC postdoctoral fellow from Canada. He earned his PhD degree from University of Alberta. His main research interests lies in ultrafast laser matter interaction, especially in non-equilibrium warm dense matter. He uses a variety of cutting edge diagnostics including ultrashort pulse THz, optical laser, free electron laser and electron diffraction to study the electron and ion dynamics and electrical conductivity, as surrogates to material properties in warm dense matter conditions.
