Ebrahim-Zadeh, Majid

ICREA Research Professor at ICFO (Institut de Ciències Fotòniques). Technology & Engineering

Majid Ebrahim-Zadeh received his PhD from St Andrews University, Scotland, in 1989. He was a Royal Society Research Fellow from 1993 to 2001 and was appointed ICREA Research Professor in 2003. He has over 400 publications, including 135 journal papers, 65 invited talks, 11 book chapters and reviews, and has co-edited 2 books. He has served as advisory editor and topical editor of Optics Letters, as guest editor of J. Opt. Soc. Am. B, on the Joint Council on Quantum Electronics (USA), International Council on Quantum Electronics, Steering Committee of CLEO/IQEC (USA), on the advisory board of International Conferences on Materials and Technologies. He currently serves as chair of the Nonlinear Optics Technical Group at OSA (USA). He is the President and Chief Scientist of Radiantis, a Fellow of OSA and SPIE, a recipient of the Royal Society Merit Award (1995, 1999), Innova Prize for commercial enterprise (2004) and Berthold Leibinger Innovation Prize, Germany (2010).


Research Interests

His research is focused on the development of new technologies for the generation and manipulation of coherent light in new spectral and temporal domains, which are inaccessible to conventional lasers. The main focus is the exploitation of nonlinear optics, in particular optical parametric processes, to produce laser radiation with unique flexibility with regard to wavelength, frequency, and time duration, and applications of this technology to biomedicine, laser surgery, spectroscopy, and microscopy. Another focus of his research is commercial enterprise and technology transfer to the industrial sector.
