Jean-Claude Diels is a professor of Physics and Electrical and
Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico, USA. He has
an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Physics Engineering from the University of
Brussels, Belgium. His research areas include, among others,
experimental investigations of ultrafast phenomena, the development
of femtosecond laser sources, metrology with femtosecond laser
pulses, nonlinear optics, and coherent interactions between light
and matter. Professor Diels has published several books and book
chapters including "Ultrashort Laser Pulse Phenomenon:
Fundamentals, Techniques and Applications on a Femtosecond Time
Scale" (2006).
Ladan Arissian is Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at the University of New Mexico, USA. She was
previously a Research Associate at the Physics Department of Texas
A&M University, performing research in attosecond science at
the National Research Council of Canada. She has obtained graduate
degrees in various disciplines: an M.S. in Nuclear Engineering
(Medical Imaging), and an M.S. in Theoretical Condensed Matter
Physics, and she holds a Ph.D. in Optical Science and Engineering
from the University of New Mexico (2007). Besides her interest in
research, she has been involved in teaching from high school level
physics to graduate courses in Optics. Dr. Arissian has published
40 articles and conference presentations, three book chapters and
three patents in laser physics.
Named CHOICE Outstanding Title for 2012
