Dana Z. Anderson

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dana Zachary Anderson (born April 10, 1953 in Chicago ) is an American physicist who deals with quantum optics , atomic optics and nonlinear optics .

Anderson received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1975 and his PhD in physics from the University of Arizona in 1981. From 1981 to 1984 he conducted research at Caltech and was a lecturer there from 1983/84 . He was then Assistant Professor at the Joint Institute Laboratory of Astrophysics at the University of Colorado , became Associate Professor in 1989 and Professor of Physics in 1995. There he headed the Optical Sciences and Engineering Program.

Starting in the 1980s, he developed self-organizing non-linear optical systems for use in optical communication and data processing. For example, associative memory from a hologram in a resonator using photorefractive materials (see also holographic memory ). They can be used to create neural networks .

In atomic optics, his group develops mobile devices using compact vacuum cells with Bose-Einstein condensates that are produced in an atomic chip . For example, integrated atomic interferometers for inertial navigation, atomic clocks and sensors for gravity and electromagnetic fields.

He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and the American Physical Society . In 1994 he received the RW Wood Prize and in 1985 a Presidential Young Investigator Award. In 1986 he was a Sloan Research Fellow .

He was an associate editor of the Journal of Neural Networks.
