Elizabeth Grace, the High Energy Density Science (HEDS) Center Fellow at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), has won a 2023 Springer Thesis Award for her work in short-pulse laser physics.
“I am very honored to receive this award from Springer Theses, and I look forward to publication,” Grace said. Her thesis will be published in a book series:
Springer Theses: Recognising Outstanding PhD research.
Georgia Tech Physics Professor Rick Trebino, also her thesis adviser, and Tammy Ma, lead for LLNL’s inertial fusion energy initiative, nominated Grace for the award. She earned her Ph.D. from Georgia Tech in 2022.
“Liz’s Ph.D. dissertation is an example of outstanding and multidisciplinary research — both the development of a pioneering new laser diagnostic, and the direct application of it to advance ultra-intense laser-matter interactions. We’re proud to have hosted Liz here at LLNL for some of that thesis work,” Ma saud. Read More...
