Jennifer Hastie

Last updated

Jennifer E. Hastie is a British physicist specialising in the design of lasers, including Raman lasers based on synthetic diamond crystals, [1] [2] and vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting-lasers. [3] She is a professor of physics at the University of Strathclyde, where she directs the Institute of Photonics. [4]

Education and career

Hastie studied laser physics and optoelectronics at the University of Strathclyde, earning a bachelor's degree in 2000 and completing her PhD in 2004. [5]

She continued working at the University of Strathclyde after completing her doctorate, [6] initially under a five-year postdoctoral fellowship from the Royal Academy of Engineering. [4] She was awarded an EPSRC Challenging Engineering Award [7] in 2011. She was appointed as director of the Institute of Photonics in 2022. [6] [8]

Recognition

Hastie was elected a Senior Member of IEEE in 2012. Optica named her as a 2024 Optica Fellow, "for leadership in the photonics and quantum technology community and pioneering technical contributions in the area of narrow-linewidth lasers". [9]
