From Laser Tag to Laser Lab: NSF NeXUS feat. on Voices of Excellence Podcast
Dr. Robert Baker (IOS Member) and the NSF NeXUS Facility were recently featured on the Podcast: Voices of Excellence
From Laser Tag to Laser Lab: Building the NSF NeXUS Facility
Dr. Robert Baker, Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, has had a life-long fascination with light, culminating in his work co-creating the National Science Foundation-Ohio State University NeXUS Laboratory. Baker’s current research focuses on electron dynamics and catalytic energy conversion. The NeXUS Laboratory houses a groundbreaking laser system capable of taking attosecond (10-18) measurements. “Voices” host David Staley and Baker tour the NeXUS lab, exploring its three main beamlines and discussing the facility’s role in advancing fields such as quantum information processing and material science. Dr. Baker describes the collaborative nature of the facility, involving graduate students, postdocs, and researchers from around the world.
