Almantas Galvanauskas
Almantas Galvanauskas is a professor at the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, University of Michigan. He has been working in the field of fiber lasers for approximately twenty years, and has more than 200 publications, including approximately 30 patents and patent applications. He had pioneered ultrashort-pulse fiber CPA and his work had resulted in demonstrating several record-breaking achievements in performance of fiber lasers. Prior to joining University of Michigan he spent eight years in industrial R&D. His current work spans areas from novel fiber designs to advanced fiber laser systems, including beam combining of pulsed and ultrashort pulse lasers, and new fiber laser applications such as high-intensity laser plasma produced EUV and X-ray generation. He is also a co-founder of Arbor Photonics, Inc.
