Physics | U-M LSA Physics

Join us as we celebrate women in physics at the annual Ta-You Wu Lecture! Dr. Donna Strickland is one of three women to ever win the Nobel Prize in physics. The award was given for co-inventing chirped pulse amplification, a method of generating high-intensity, ultrashort optical pulses. This technique enabled the development of laser-based applications including laser eye surgery and the machining of small glass parts, such as what you find in cell phones.
