Katie Dunn and Sarah Williams are PhD students at the Institute of Optics, where Yiwen E works as a post-doc. Dunn is studying angular scattering from single cells; Williams is studying the application of two-photon fluorescent imaging in the retina; and E is working on broadband terahertz wave generation from liquid water.
These young physicists gathered to extend congratulations to Donna Strickland '89 (PhD) and Gérard Mourou, winners of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics. Strickland earned her doctorate at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) with Mourou, an LLE scientist, as her graduate advisor. They were honored for their work developing chirped pulse amplification (CPA), a means of increasing the power of laser pulses. CPA has enabled the modern high-powered precision laser and accompanying research capabilities, along with LASIK eye surgery, smartphone screens, and other aspects of daily life we now take for granted.
