Nirit Dudovich (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[edit]

Dudovich was born in Jerusalem.[1] 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.[2][3] 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.[4] After graduating, Dudovich moved to the National Research Council Canada.[2]

Research and career[edit]

In 2007, Dudovich joined the faculty at the Weizmann Institute of Science.[2] 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.[5] 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.[6]
