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 appointed as director of the Institute of Photonics in 2022.[6]

Recognition

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".[7]
