Chalk up another big international award for the Ottawa physicist who was rumoured to be on the short list for last year’s Nobel Prize.
Paul Corkum has been awarded the Lomonosov Gold Medal, the highest award of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The academy gives two medals each year: one to a Russian and one to a foreign scientist.
Past recipients include writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn; James Watson, the co-discoverer of DNA; and geneticist Svante Paabo, a major figure in the Human Genome Project.
Corkum was recognized for outstanding contributions in ultrafast physics, using bursts of laser light so short that they allow scientists to capture the movement of subatomic particles and observe molecular reactions as they occur.
He shares this award with the Russian physicist Leonid Veniaminovich Keldysh.
A former National Research Council researcher, Corkum is now at the Advanced Research Complex at the University of Ottawa.
