Short Bio: Dr., Prof. John Dudley received his Ph.D. from the University of Auckland and is currently a Pro-fessor at the University of Franche-Comté in Besan?on, France. He is a Fellow of OSA, SPIE, IEEE, EOS, and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand Te Aparangi.
Dr. Dudley's research covers a wide range of topics in ultrafast and nonlinear optics. In addition to early work in source development, he pioneered the use of advanced measurement techniques to characterize complex pulse propagation in nonlinear fiber optics, and contributed especially to the development of a clear understanding of the physics of fiber supercontinuum generation.
