Reference excerpt

Louis Franklin DiMauro (born April 9, 1953, Brooklyn, New York) is an American atomic physicist, the Edward and Sylvia Hagenlocker Professor In the department of physics at the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA. His interests are atomic, molecular and optical physics. He has been elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Physical Society and Optical Society.

Career DiMauro received his BS from Hunter College, City University of New York and his Ph.D. from University of Connecticut in 1980 and was a postdoctoral fellow at Stony Brook University before arriving at AT&T Bell Laboratories as a member of the technical staff in 1981. He joined the staff at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1988 rising to the rank of senior scientist. Concurrently, he was appointed visiting professor of physics at Stony Brook University. In 2004 he accepted the position of professor and the Edward and Sylvia Hagenlocker Chair of Physics at The Ohio State University (OSU). He runs a lab at OSU jointly with Pierre Agostini. His research interest is in experimental ultra-fast and strong-field physics. In 1993, he and his collaborators introduced the widely accepted semi-classical rescattering or three-step model in strong-field physics.

Honors and awards His research accomplishments have been recognized by:

2004 DOE BNL/BSA Science & Technology Prize 2012 OSU Distinguished Scholar Award 2013 OSA William F. Meggers Award in Spectroscopy 2017 APS Arthur Schawlow Prize.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Louis F. DiMauro

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Louis F. DiMauro claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Louis F. DiMauro before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Louis F. DiMauro ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Louis F. DiMauro

In research: Louis F. DiMauro appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Louis F. DiMauro in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Louis F. DiMauro is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1953 births, 21st-century American physicists, Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Louis F. DiMauro outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
