Nora Berrah

Nora Berrah is an Algerian physicist who studies how light and matter interact. She is a professor at the University of Connecticut, where she previously was chair of the physics department.Berrah earned a diploma in physics in 1979 from the University of Algiers. She completed her PhD in 1987 from the University of Virginia. She worked from Argonne National Laboratory from 1987 to 1992, and became a professor at Western Michigan University in 1999. She moved to the University of Connecticut in 2014. Quotes I preferred studying alone. I always prepared study plans for exams and studying alone helped me to respect this agenda. The first and also the last time when I saw these lifts was at the University of Miskolc: the elevators without doors which never stop. I felt myself at home, as there are a lot of nice places to visit and honestly, the calmness of the city helped a lot during the exams What I liked the most about Miskolc were the University, the cave bath, the city centre: I was in the cinema in Miskolc Plaza every Friday and I also liked some restaurants like Sever Restaurant or Murphy’s Restaurant. We want to understand these processes, and ultimately we want to control them to achieve desired outcomes. I and my research group measure manifestations of quantum mechanics — using ultrafast lasers at the femtosecond and attosecond timescale to test fundamentals of quantum mechanics. Our research has a broad impact on chemistry, biology, material science, and environmental science. It’s important to mentor the next generation of women physicists and increase significantly their number.
