Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Larissa Boie holds a Ph.D. from ETH Zurich (Switzerland), where she built a table-top setup for tunable chirped mid-infrared laser pulses to be used in studying the structural dynamics of correlated systems. In addition, she worked at X-ray free electron lasers around the world to investigate correlations on the ultrafast timescale in a charge-density-wave material. She completed her M.Sc. in Germany at the Freie Universität Berlin, which included stays at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology in Nairobi, Kenya and the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. Before joining The Ohio State University, she worked at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland, studying the structural changes in glasses upon laser processing using X-ray diffraction methods. At the Ohio State University, Larissa joined the Atomic Physics Group to explore high-harmonic spectroscopy in quantum materials, studying fundamental properties under strong laser fields.
