Donna Strickland is a Canadian physicist known for her groundbreaking work in the field of optics. Strickland worked with pulse lasers while getting her Ph. D. at the University of Rochester, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018 for her help developing chirped pulse amplification, a powerful, ultrashort laser that can be used to make precise cuts in many materials, from machinery to human tissue. She was awarded the prize with her doctoral advisor Gerard Mourou, becoming the third woman to ever win the Nobel Prize in Physics, and the first woman to win in 55 years.
