BOYD, Robert – Department of Physics, University of Ottawa
Robert Boyd is an internationally acclaimed expert in nonlinear optics and photonics. He has made significant contributions to the development of methods for controlling the velocity of light, of quantum imaging methods, and for the theoretical description and laboratory characterization of materials and metamaterials that display giant optical nonlinearity. He is also noted for pedagogical work aimed at conveying the conceptual understanding of the nature of nonlinear optical interactions.
