Peter Hannaford is a Distinguished University Professor and Director of the Centre for Atom Optics and Ultrafast Spectroscopy at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne. He is also Institutional Director of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Quantum-Atom Optics at Swinburne University of Technology. While at CSIRO in the 1970s to the 1990s he pioneered new techniques in high resolution and time-resolved laser spectroscopy which have been important for characterisation of the spectroscopic properties of a wide range of atoms. In recent years he and his group at Swinburne University have made important advances in the new fields of laser cooling of atoms, atom optics, Bose-Einstein condensation, and femtosecond laser spectroscopy. He has received a number of honours and awards and has published over 150 papers in scientific journals and books. |
