Thomas Tschentscher's scientific research interests lie in the field of ultrafast x-ray science. This includes the development of FEL sources and their scientific applications. Ultrafast time-dependent processes in solid-state photo-chemistry, photo-induced phase transitions, and photo-induced irreversible reactions have been a focus of study. More recently the emphasis shifted towards the investigation of ultrafast dynamics in the regime of condensed matter under extreme conditions. A significant aspect of this work is the development of new instrumentation for FEL experiments and of new FEL techniques.
