# Louis F. DiMauro

Louis Franklin DiMauro (born April 9, 1953, Brooklyn, New York) is an American atomic physicist, the Edward and Sylvia Hagenlocker Professor In the department of physics at the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA. His interests are atomic, molecular and optical physics. He has been elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Physical Society and Optical Society.

## Career

DiMauro received his BS from Hunter College, City University of New York and his Ph.D. from University of Connecticut in 1980 and was a postdoctoral fellow at Stony Brook University before arriving at AT&T Bell Laboratories as a member of the technical staff in 1981. He joined the staff at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1988 rising to the rank of senior scientist. Concurrently, he was appointed visiting professor of physics at Stony Brook University. In 2004 he accepted the position of professor and the Edward and Sylvia Hagenlocker Chair of Physics at The Ohio State University (OSU). He runs a lab at OSU jointly with Pierre Agostini.
His research interest is in experimental ultra-fast and strong-field physics. In 1993, he and his collaborators introduced the widely accepted semi-classical rescattering or three-step model in strong-field physics.

## Honors and awards

His research accomplishments have been recognized by:
* 2004 DOE BNL/BSA Science & Technology Prize
* 2012 OSU Distinguished Scholar Award
* 2013 OSA William F. Meggers Award in Spectroscopy
* 2017 APS Arthur Schawlow Prize.
