John C. Travers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John C. Travers is a British optical physicist.

Travers graduated from Durham University in 2003 with a M.Sci degree in mathematics and physics. He subsequently completed a M.Sc. and Ph.D., both from Imperial College London in 2004 and 2008, respectively. Travers remained at Imperial until 2010, for postdoctoral research purposes, then joined the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Germany. In 2016, Travers established the Laboratory of Ultrafast Physics and Optics at Heriot-Watt University, and was promoted to full professor in 2019.[1] He was the 2022 recipient of the Institution of Engineering and Technology's A F Harvey Prize.[2][3] In 2024, Travers was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies.[4]
