Donna Strickland is a Canadian professor who is a pioneer in the field of lasers.[1] She is the third woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics. She won the prize for the work she did as an intern.
On 2 October 2018, Strickland was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for her work on chirped pulse amplification with Gérard Mourou, who was her PhD supervisor.[2]
She is an assistant professor at the University of Waterloo, where she leads an ultrafast laser group that develops high-intensity laser systems for nonlinear optics investigations.[3]
Strickland graduated with a B.Eng in Engineering Physics from McMaster University and obtained her PhD in Physics (optics) at the University of Rochester.[4]
