Ksenia Dolgaleva Author

Ksenia Dolgaleva completed her undergraduate program and Diploma in Physics (an equivalent of a Master’s degree) at the Faculty of Physics at Lomonosov Moscow State University. Her field of undergraduate specialization was laser physics. She performed her doctoral studies at the Institute of Optics, the University of Rochester, in the research group of Prof. Robert Boyd. Since then, nonlinear optics has become her primary subject of interest: all her research is centered on this field. After completing her Ph.D. in Optics at the University of Rochester, Ksenia performed her postdoctoral research with Prof. Stewart Aitchison at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the University of Toronto. She worked on integrated photonic devices based on semiconductor materials. Dr. Dolgaleva is presently an Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa and a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Integrated Photonics, and a recipient of the Ontario Early Researchers award. Her primary affiliation is with the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering. She is also cross-appointed with the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science. Her current research fields include nonlinear photonics in III-V semiconductors, the interaction of light with matter, terahertz optics, and nanostructured optical materials. She has expertise in a variety of optics subfields, which she is passionate to share with readers in this book series.
