Nirit Dudovich (Hebrew: 'נירית דודוביץ) is an Israeli physicist who is the Robin Chemers Neustein Professorial Chair at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Her work considers strong field light-matter interactions and the generation of attosecond pulses. She was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2016.

Early life and education

Dudovich was born in Jerusalem.[1] Her father Arnold Frank was a physicist.[2] In 1989 she joined the Israel Defense Forces in the Intelligence Corps, where she served until 1993.[1] She was an undergraduate student in physics and computer sciences at Tel Aviv University.[3][4] She moved to the Weizmann Institute of Science as a graduate student, earning both a master's and graduate degree. Her research focused on quantum coherent control.[5] After graduating, Dudovich moved to the National Research Council Canada.[3]

Research and career

In 2007, Dudovich joined the faculty at the Weizmann Institute of Science.[3] Her research considers strong-field light-matter interactions, with a particular focus on the dynamics at ultrafast timescales. To this end, Dudovich developed frequency-resolved optomolecular gating.[6] She has considered two aspects of high harmonic generation, including ionisation and recombination. She has made use of attosecond physics to better understand electronic processes such as tunnelling.[7]
