Biography

Jiaojian (Tristan) Shi earned a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Peking University in 2015 and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2021. While at MIT, he worked in the lab of Keith Nelson, focusing on strong-field phenomena in nanomaterials at terahertz frequencies. Following his doctoral studies, he became a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Aaron M. Lindenberg at Stanford University SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. His research there involved studying light-matter interactions and developing ultrafast structural-sensitive spectroscopies with sensitivity at single-particle levels. Currently, he is at the University of Washington, where he is engaged in developing laser-based tools to precisely control physicochemical processes crucial for clean energy conversion and power storage, as well as advancing understanding in the quantum realm.
