Angela Dudley

Angela Louise Dudley is a South African laser scientist whose research involves beam shaping, optical modes, Bessel beams, and structured light, with applications including optical communication and additive manufacturing. She is a senior lecturer in physics at the University of the Witwatersrand. Quotes Our goal is to build relationships with companies so we can help meet their needs and solve their problems in ways that benefit our students, too That may be talent development, industry research, or even developing innovative curriculum to meet emerging workforce needs Angela Dudley comments at an investment event in WSU Apart from enjoying and having an aptitude for math and science at school, I decided to pursue a career in physics because there are very few female scientists in South Africa. Having a degree in physics opens the door to a variety of careers across a variety of sectors. And since only a few women pursue these careers it means more opportunities for those who do. My responsibilities involve implementing structured light to increase the bandwidth of optical communications systems. I design and construct optical experiments as well as develop code to automate measurement processes and analyze data. I also assist on the business process and program development of our prototyping facility which develops photonics prototypes well-aligned to market needs.
