A special congratulation to Paul Corkum, University of Ottawa, who has won the American Physical Society's 2025 APS Medal for exceptional achievement in research, in the fields of plasma physics, strong-field spectrosocpy, electron scattering, as well as for pioneering the use of attosecond laser pulses.
Paul was a graduate student in the Department of Physics in the group of Prof. McLennan and obtained his PhD from Lehigh University in 1972. The APS Medal is a new entry in a long list of recognitions that include the Wolf Prize in physics.
