SUMMARY:ICFO | DONNA STRICKLAND
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:BIO:&nbsp\;\nDonna Strickland is a professor in the Department 
 of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo and is one of the r
 ecipients of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 for developing chirped pulse 
 amplification with G&eacute\;rard Mourou\, her PhD supervisor at the time.
  They published this Nobel-winning research in 1985 when Strickland was a 
 PhD student at the University of Rochester in New York state. Together the
 y paved the way toward the most intense laser pulses ever created.\nStrick
 land was a research associate at the National Research Council Canada\, a 
 physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and a member of techni
 cal staff at Princeton University. In 1997\, she joined the University of 
 Waterloo\, where her ultrafast laser group develops high-intensity laser s
 ystems for nonlinear optics investigations.\nStrickland was named a Compan
 ion of the Order of Canada. She is a recipient of a Sloan Research Fellows
 hip\, a Premier&rsquo\;s Research Excellence Award and a Cottrell Scholar 
 Award. Strickland served as the president of the Optical Society (OSA) in 
 2013. She is a fellow of OSA and SPIE\, the Royal Society of Canada and th
 e Royal Society. She is an honorary fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engi
 neering as well as the Institute of Physics. She is an international membe
 r of the US National Academy of Science.\nStrickland earned a PhD in optic
