We apply gauge/gravity duality to study the non-equilibrium dynamics induced by quenching the interaction parameter between a magnetic impurity and a strongly coupled system of fermions. In the holographic limit, this model exhibits a phase transition at a critical temperature, below which the impurity is partially screened. We investigate the quasinormal modes in both phases, and comment on the dynamical critical behaviour at around the critical point.
