John M Dudley

John M. Dudley was born in Otahuhu, New Zealand, in 1966. He received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, in 1987 and 1992, respectively. In 1992 and 1993, he carried out postdoctoral research studying femtosecond self-mode locked lasers and optical parametric oscillators at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, in the group of Professor Wilson Sibbett. In 1994, he took up a lecturing position at the University of Auckland, where he studied the physics of ultrashort pulse generation and measurement, and nonlinear fiber optics. In 2000, he was appointed Professor at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon, France, where he currently pursues diverse research interests in ultrafast and nonlinear guided wave optics within the multidisciplinary CNRS research Institute FEMTO-ST. He has published over 200 contributions in journals, books, and conference proceeding. Professor Dudley is a Member of the Institut Universitaire de France, Senior Member of the IEEE, and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America. He frequently serves on organizing program committees for national and international conferences.
