John Michael Dudley is a physicist specialized in optics originating from South Auckland in New Zealand and working in France.[1]

Biography

Dudley obtained B.Sc and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Auckland in 1987 and 1992 respectively.[2] In 1992 and 1993, he carried out postdoctoral research at the University of St Andrews in Scotland before taking a lecturing position in 1994 at the University of Auckland. In 2000, he was appointed Professor at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon, France. He heads the Optoelectronics and Photonics research group of the FEMTO-ST Laboratory.[3] He is chair of the international steering committee of the International Year of Light 2015.[4]

Research interests

His research interests cover broad themes in nonlinear and ultrafast optics, and he is currently co-laureate of a European Research Council Advanced Grant with Professor Frederic Dias of UCD Dublin to study the physics of extreme waves in optics and hydrodynamics.[5] John M. Dudley has authored more than 150 articles in international peer-reviewed journals.[6]

Awards and distinctions

He was named a member of the Institut Universitaire de France in 2005 and elected a Fellow of the Optical Society of America in 2007. He was an IEEE LEOS Distinguished Lecturer for the period 2008-2010 and is past Chair of the Quantum Electronics and Optics Division of the European Physical Society. In 2009, he was awarded the Grand Prix de l'Electronique Général Ferrié from the Société des Electriciens et Electroniciens (SEE) and has also received a research award from the IXCORE Foundation. He is currently a Deputy Editor of the OSA journal Optics Express, and he participates in OSA and SPIE Travelling Lecturer programmes. He was elected as a Fellow of the IEEE in 2011 and a Fellow of the European Optical Society in 2012,[7] and received the CNRS Silver Medal in 2013.[8]
