Simon Hooker is a Professor in Atomic Laser Physics at the University of Oxford. His research is focused on applications arising from the interaction of intense laser radiation with matter. A key consideration in his work is the requirement for intense laser pulses to remain tightly focused over long distances, despite the challenges posed by refraction and diffraction. His research group has developed techniques for channeling intense laser pulses, which is foundational for applications in driving miniature particle accelerators and compact X-ray sources. Particularly, his work delves into the generation of short-wavelength radiation in the soft X-ray region, including high-harmonics generation and plasma accelerators. His studies target the propagation of intense laser pulses in conditions generating ionizing plasma.
