Dr. Paul Corkum
Dr. Paul Corkum is one of ÍøÆسԹÏ’s most distinguished alumni and a world-leading physicist in ultrafast laser science. After graduating with an Honours physics degree from ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï in 1965, he went on to earn his PhD from Lehigh University and joined the National Research Council of Canada, where he built one of the world’s leading groups in attosecond and laser-matter interaction research. Dr. Corkum pioneered attosecond science, which makes it possible to measure the motion of electrons in atoms, molecules, and solids. His work has been cited thousands of times and has had a major impact on modern physics. In 2022, he was awarded the Wolf Prize in Physics, one of the world’s most prestigious scientific honours, and he has since received several additional top international awards. He received an Honorary Degree from ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï in 2006 and the Distinguished Alumni Award and remains a proud member of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï alumni community.
The Huggins Science Seminar was established in 1972 on the initiative of ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï graduate Dr. Charles Huggins, Nobel laureate and former ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Chancellor.
The Nobel Prize will be on display at the seminar.
All are welcome!
