Dr. Ngoko Djiokap’s expertise is on ultrafast attosecond physics, intense laser-atom interactions (strong-field physics), and theoretical atomic physics; with a focus on two-electron processes. He is interested in general on intense laser-matter interactions and on numerical and analytic theoretical descriptions of atomic and molecular processes. His leitmotif is that by means of ab initio numerical and analytical tools, new fundamental insights can be gained that could lead to novel scientific and technological breakthroughs.
As of June 2021 he has twenty scientific publications as first author and has received 363 citations. He has been the lead researcher of several international collaborations involving researchers from the United States of America, the Russian Federation, Denmark, Belgium, Cameroon, and China. His research works have been presented as invited talks in many national and international conferences, and as poster presentations at many additional meetings. He has been an invited participant in the 2014 KITP program: “Frontiers of Intense Laser Physics” in Santa Barbara, CA, July-September, 2014, where he gave a contributed talk. He has been a visiting professor at Aarhus University (November 22 – December 07, 2014, Denmark) where he gave an AMO seminar talk. He has been an invited participant of the “Workshop on Insights into AMO Physics and Related Fields, in honor of Professor Anthony Starace's 70th birthday,’’ (08/22/2015, Lincoln, NE), where he gave an contributed talk. He has been a Young Collaborator under the associate scheme at ICTP (June 4 – September 4, 2004, Trieste, Italy).
He is the Head of the scientific committee of the International Seminar and Focus Workshop} on ``Control of Ultrafast (Attosecond and Strong Field) Processes Using Structured Light,’’ at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany, initially scheduled from June 29 to July 17 2020. Due to COVID-19, it will now be held June 26 to July 14, 2023. He was the Chair of the memorial focus session to honor the legacy of Anthony Starace on ``Theoretical Advances in Strong-Field and Ultrafast Physical Processes,’’ at the 51st Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, June 1–5, 2020; Portland, Oregon. He was the Chair of the session M03 on ``Chiral Molecules and Chiral Light,'' at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Monday-Friday, May 31–June 4 2021; Virtual; Time Zone: Central Daylight Time, USA.
