Donna Theo Strickland (born 27 May 1959)[1][2][3] is a Canadian optical physicist and pioneer in the field of pulsed lasers. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018, together with Gérard Mourou, for the practical implementation of chirped pulse amplification.[4] She is a professor at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.[5]
She served as fellow, vice president, and president of Optica (formerly OSA), and is currently chair of its Presidential Advisory Committee. In 2018, she was listed as one of BBC's 100 Women.[6] She has gone on to have the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Prize being set in her name.
