A study of high harmonic generation in materials relevant to power electronics, led by GoLP members, has been
published in the journal Optics Express. The work was collaborative between GoLP, ELI-Alps, CTN, and INM Japan. The lead author is Mukhtar Hussein, currently an Associate Researcher at Arizona State University.

Deucalion. This computational time will support his work carried out under his FCT CEEC grant, and model dense quantum plasmas created at VOXEL, and solid density photo ionised plasmas created by X-ray free electron lasers
