ABOUT MARGARET'S WORK
Margaret Murnane’s work advances our understanding of optical physics.

She has made important strides in three aspects of laser pulse generation: brevity, power, and frequency. In particular, Murnane’s research helped optimize the design of a titanium-doped, sapphire laser cavity, furthering our understanding of the physical basis for the interaction of light and matter. Additionally, her research group has shown that the generation of laser-like beams of X-rays can be dramatically enhanced as the stimulating pulse duration decreases. Developing such X-ray sources is already providing enormous practical benefits for capturing the smallest and fastest events in the nanoworld and may also find future application in high-resolution imaging of living, biological specimens. In combination, her work advances the physical basis for the interaction of light and matter.

BIOGRAPHY
Murnane is a professor of physics, electrical and computer engineering, and materials science at the University of Colorado and is a Fellow of JILA, an interdisciplinary research group composed of scientists from the University of Colorado and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. She has held faculty positions at Washington State University (1990-1995) and the University of Michigan (1996-1999). Her articles have appeared in such journals as Nature and Science.

Murnane received a B.S. (1981) and an M.S. (1983) from University College Cork, in Ireland, and a Ph.D. (1989) from the University of California, Berkeley.

关于玛格丽特的工作
玛格丽特-穆南的工作推动了我们对光学物理学的理解。

她在激光脉冲产生的三个方面取得了重要进展:简洁、功率和频率。特别是,穆纳恩的研究帮助优化了掺钛蓝宝石激光腔的设计,进一步加深了我们对光与物质相互作用的物理基础的理解。此外,她的研究小组已经表明,随着刺激脉冲持续时间的减少,类似激光的X射线束的产生可以得到极大的增强。开发这样的X射线源已经为捕捉纳米世界中最小和最快的事件提供了巨大的实际好处,并且还可能在未来的活体生物标本的高分辨率成像中找到应用。总之,她的工作推进了光与物质相互作用的物理基础。

个人简历
穆纳恩是科罗拉多大学物理学、电子和计算机工程以及材料科学的教授,也是JILA的研究员,这是一个由科罗拉多大学和国家标准和技术研究所的科学家组成的跨学科研究小组。她曾在华盛顿州立大学(1990-1995)和密歇根大学(1996-1999)担任教职。她的文章出现在《自然》和《科学》等杂志上。

穆尔南在爱尔兰科克大学学院获得学士学位(1981年)和硕士学位(1983年),并在加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校获得博士学位(1989年)。
