Ross Grynko

Welcome! A bit about Ross.

I enjoy solving physical and mathematical problems using creative computation and light-based technology.

I am a physicist with a background in ultrafast science and nonlinear optics. My doctoral work is based on a series of experimental and theoretical studies of laser filamentation, harmonic generation, and ultrafast visualization using techniques like digital holography and tomographic interferometry. I'm interested in using physics to answer fundamental questions about how photons interact with matter, and I aim to extend my science to real world applications ranging from medicine to optical computing. Below is some of my featured work.

IEEE: Zonal measurements of oxide/nitride tier stacks in 3D NAND.

Mid-IR polarimetry combined with machine learning enables zonally sensitive measurements of 3D NAND

Optics Letters: Broadband mid-IR supercontinuum in dielectrics.

Laser filaments are used to produce a novel light source spanning three spectral octaves in the mid-IR.

Optica: Atmospheric laser filamentation.

The spectral dynamics of atmospheric mid-IR filaments are shown to be effective for applications such as LIDAR and long-range stand-off detection.
