The Attosecond and Ultrafast X-ray Optics (AUXO) group at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) is currently working in the research areas of Attosecond science and X-ray free-electron laser physics. Their main expertise resides in the theoretical modelling of ultrafast experiments to investigate the optical response of molecular systems and quantum materials. In this network, AUXO will provide theoretical support in order to investigate structured light applications in modern quantum materials, such as photovoltaic, valleytronics, and topological materials.

The group is composed by Antonio Picón, who is also the representative of the group on the FASLIGHT network, two postdoc researchers, two PhD student, one technician and one student.
