My work initially seeks modules that offer many GeV energy gain in sub-millimeter nanostructures using attosecond thin film compression x-ray lasers or particle beams. This also breaks open several unexplored basic questions such as understanding attosecond dynamics in materials, properties of nanoscale modes in structured materials etc.
