Hrvoje Petek (born 1958) is a Richard King Mellon Chair of Physics and Astronomy (since 2014) and a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh.[1] He is a highly cited researcher in the field of coherent optical interactions in sold state materials. He has developed the interferometric time resolved multiphoton photoemission spectroscopy, which enables electron energy and momentum resolved measurements of quantum mechanical dephasing to be performed in solids with <10 fs (10−14 s) time resolution. He has also developer interferometric time-resolved multiphoton photoemission microscopy, which enables studies of electronic dephasing to be performed with <10 nm (10−8 m) spatial and <10 fs temporal resolutions. He has applied these techniques to studies of electronic dephasing at clean and molecule decorated metal surfaces. He is an author or coauthor of over 185 refereed publications (ISI h-index 46; Google =54), including 9 books or book chapters. He has mentored over 12 graduate students and 15 postdoctoral fellows. He is a coauthor of 19 USA, European, and Japanese patents.
Background and education
Petek was born in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, and emigrated with his family to the U.S.A. when he was 11 years old. He graduated from Sweet Home Senior High School in Amherst, New York. He received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980, where he performed undergraduate research with Profs. John Ross (chemist) and Robert W. Field. Subsequently, he obtained his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1985, where he worked with Prof. C. B. Moore and developed a difference frequency mixing laser system for measuring of infrared spectra of transient molecules such as CH2,[2] and molecular ions such as N2D+.[3]
Research and career
After obtaining his PhD in 1985, Petek was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Molecular Science.[4] (IMS) in Okazaki, Japan, where he was supported by a fellowship from the Yamada Science Foundation and a National Science Foundation postdoctoral award. After two years in 1987, Petek took on a permanent position at IMS as a Research Associate. At IMS he worked in the group of Prof. Keitaro Yoshihara on spectroscopy and dynamics of cold, isolated molecules in molecular beams, and where he learned methods of ultrafast electronic spectroscopy. In 1993, he changed jobs and took on the position as a Senior Research Scientist, and a Group Leader at the Hitachi, Advanced Research Laboratory in Hatoyama, Japan. There he led a group of 4-8 researchers and developed his current expertise in the ultrafast coherent spectroscopy of solid surfaces. His pioneering work where he demonstrated that it is possible to measure optical dephasing and control the optical response of electrons in a metal, published in the Physical Review Letters, and a review in the Progress in Surface Science.His research concerns ultrafast electronic dynamics and microscopy of solids and solid surfaces. He developed coherent photoelectron spectroscopy and microscopy as methods for studying the dephasing and spatial propagation of polarization fields in solid state materials and nanostructure.
