Debora M. Kane is a Professor of Physics at Macquarie University, where her research interests are in non-linear optics and laser physics. She is a Fellow of the The Optical Society and has edited four books on nanotechnology, nanomaterials and semiconductor lasers.

Early life and education

Kane obtained a Bachelor's degree from the University of Otago in 1979.[1] In 1983, she received her PhD from the University of St Andrews. Her thesis used optical spectroscopy techniques to study atomic transitions in various materials for applications in laser physics.[2]

Research and career

Kane began her postdoctoral career as a research fellow at the University of Southampton in 1984, working on developing techniques to improve the operation of dye lasers.[3][4][5] In 1986, she moved to Massey University, where she became a lecturer in physics.[6]

Kane has been at the Department of Physics at Macquarie University since 1989, serving as Head of Department from 2003-6, and now holds a personal Chair in Physics.[7] Her current research spans various aspects of laser physics, particularly non-linear optics and dynamics in semiconductor lasers,[8][9] how laser technologies can be used for applications in surface science studies and nanomaterial processing,[10] and the development of new visible and ultraviolet light sources.[11]

Awards and honours

Selected publications

Kane has co-authored over 200 academic publications and nine book chapters on laser physics.[15] She has also edited four books: Nanomaterials: Science and Applications (2016),[16] Nanotechnology in Australia: Showcase of Early Career Research (2011),[17] Laser Cleaning II (2007),[18] and Unlocking Dynamic Diversity: Optical Feedback Effects on Semiconductor Lasers (2005).[19]
