DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ago Marinelli (Stanford)\n\nPhoton Science and Parti
 cle Physics and Astrophysics\, and Applied Physics at Stanford University 
 and SLAC\nThe invention of ultrafast light sources has opened a new window
  into the physical world\, enabling the observation of nature at the chara
 cteristic time and length scales of atomic phenomena. Ultrafast techniques
  have inspired new fields of research in physics\, chemistry and material 
 science\, and have been recognized twice by the Nobel prize committee in t
 he last decade.\nThe x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) is the most advanced
  source of x-rays available\, with a peak brightness that surpasses tradit
 ional synchrotron sources by ten orders of magnitude. XFELs have recently 
 broken the femtosecond and Terawatt limits\, opening a new chapter for att
 osecond science.\nIn my talk I will give an overview of the physics of XFE
 Ls and their scientific applications. I will then focus on the recent deve
 lopment of attosecond XFELs and their use in the study of electronic pheno
 mena in matter. Finally\, I will discuss my views on the future of our fie
 ld\, combining XFELs with new technologies such as plasma-based accelerato
 rs and x-ray optical cavities.\nBio:   Ago Marinelli is an assistant pro
 fessor of Photon Science and Particle Physics and Astrophysics\, and\, by 
 courtesy\, of Applied Physics at Stanford University and SLAC. He received
  his PhD in Physics in 2012 from UCLA and moved to SLAC shortly after as a
  research associate. He was awarded a Panofsky Fellowship in 2015 and join
 ed the SLAC faculty in 2019. He currently leads the FEL R&D program at the
  LCLS and the FEL physics department in the Accelerator Research Division.
