Description:: One seismologist’s noise is another seismologist’s signal. What was once disregarded is now routinely processed as dense arrays of broadband seismometers continuously record small amplitude Earth motions, presenting an immense wealth of data. This dissertation presents three projects where ambient seismic noise, generated by ocean wave interactions with the solid...

Description:: Optical interferometry is a powerful technique which has been widely utilized for well over a century in making the world’s most precise measurements. By measuring how the interference between two waves is affected by a physical process, one can deduce the magnitude of this process. Because the wavelength of a...

Description:: Ultrafast spectroscopy offers an unprecedented view on the dynamic nature of chemical reactions. From charge transfer in semiconductors to folding and isomerization of proteins, these all important processes can now be monitored and in some instances even controlled on real, physical timescales. One of the biggest challenges of ultrafast science...
