Choosing the Right Lasers and Optics for Ultrafast Microscopy

Dr. Olivia Wheeler-Williams joined Edmund Optics as an Ultrafast Laser Optics Engineer in December 2021. In this role, she guides customers through choosing the correct optical components for their ultrafast laser systems. Olivia obtained her Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2020. During her graduate studies, she primarily conducted ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy and microscopy studies of novel materials for solar cells. Olivia previously worked as a post-doctoral research associate at Purdue University, where she focused on ultrafast instrumentation development, specifically pump-probe microscopy with 10fs pulses.

Dr. Leburn leads the commercial growth of Scottish-based laser manufacturer Chromacity. The former Royal Society of Edinburgh Enterprise Fellow holds a Ph.D. from the University of St. Andrews in ultrafast solid-state lasers and co-founded Chromacity in 2013.
