Jiaojian (Tristan) Shi

Jiaojian (Tristan) Shi earned his B.S. in physics from Peking University in 2015 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2021. While at MIT, he worked in the lab of Keith A. Nelson on strong-field phenomena in nanomaterials at terahertz frequencies. Following that, he became a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Aaron M. Lindenberg at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, focusing on studying light-matter interactions with ultrafast structural-sensitive spectroscopies with sensitivity down to single-particle levels. He will join UW to develop laser-based tools to surgically control physicochemical processes crucial for clean energy conversion, power storage, and quantum world development.
