Dr David Villeneuve obtained a PhD in physics from the University of Waterloo in 1980. \u00a0After a postdoc at the University of Rochester, he joined the National Research Council in Ottawa.\u00a0 Until his retirement at the end of 2020, Dr Villeneuve was the head of the Attosecond Science Group at NRC, the NRC head of the Joint Attosecond Science Laboratory (JASLab), and scientific co-lead of the Joint Centre for Extreme Photonics. He has over 200 publications in refereed journals, is an adjunct professor of physics at the University of Ottawa, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, of the American Physical Society and of the Optical Society of America. \u00a0He received the IEEE Quantum Electronics Award in 2016. \u00a0His interests include the generation of attosecond-duration pulses, soft x-ray coherent imaging, high harmonic spectroscopy, and the study of atoms and molecules in intense laser fields.<\/p>\n
