The Department of Physics is hosting a special colloquium featuring Dr. Donna Strickland, Professor of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Waterloo and one of only four women in history to receive the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Dr. Strickland’s groundbreaking work on Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) revolutionized laser technology, enabling advancements like laser eye surgery and micromachining. Her talk, "Generating High-Intensity, Ultrashort Optical Pulses," will explore the breakthroughs that have reshaped modern science and technology.

This is a rare opportunity to hear from a pioneering scientist whose discoveries have had profound real-world impact. We proudly endorse this event and encourage faculty, researchers, and students to attend and be inspired.
