Bio/Research
Robert W. Boyd has been an internationally recognized leading scientist in nonlinear optics for over 30 years. His research spans a range of topics, from physics to engineering, fundamental to applied research, and classical to quantum nonlinear optics.
Before becoming a Canada Excellence Research Chair at the University of Ottawa, Boyd was the M. Parker Givens Professor of Optics and Professor of Physics at the University of Rochester in New York.
Boyd holds a PhD in physics from the University of California at Berkeley, and received his bachelor's degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has published almost 200 research papers, many in prestigious journals such as Science and Physical Review Letters. Most students in optics know his name, as he is the author of Nonlinear Optics, a textbook commonly used around the world. He has also been awarded eight United States patents in nonlinear optics, and is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America.
