CAP member Paul Corkum, National Research Council and the University of Ottawa, has been announced as the winner of the 2025 APS Medal for Exceptional Achievement in Research, the largest prize awarded by the American Physical Society.
The award is in recognition of “the synthesis of plasma physics, strong-field spectroscopy, and electron scattering concepts to form a new science of strong-field physics ranging from atomic to solid state physics, as well as for the pioneering of attosecond science”.
For further details, please read the interview of Dr. Corkum in Physics Today, or read the announcement published by the University of Ottawa.
