Biography
Dr. Douguet earned his Ph.D. in theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical physics from UCF and Paris-Saclay University (France) in 2010. He pursued postdoctoral training in attosecond science and strong-field physics at UC Davis, Drake University, and UCF. From 2019 to 2023, he served as an assistant professor at Kennesaw State University in Atlanta, USA, before starting as an assistant professor at UCF in 2023.
