Kristan Lee Corwin is an American physicist who is a professor and division chief at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Her research considers nonlinear optics and emerging laser systems.

## Early life and education

[edit]

Corwin grew up in Western New York. She studied physics at the University at Buffalo.[1] She moved to the University of Colorado Boulder for graduate studies, where she worked on laser trapping and molecular cooling with Carl Wieman.[2] She moved to the École Normale Supérieure for a postdoctoral fellowship, where she worked alongside Christophe Salomon on quantum gases.[3] Corwin then returned to the United States, where she worked as a research fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.[3]

## Research and career

[edit]

In 2003, Corwin joined the faculty at the Kansas State University,[1][4] where she was made Ernest K. and Lillian E. Chapin Professor of Physics and Dean for Research. Her research has considered nonlinear optics and novel laser systems.[5] In 2019, she was made Division Chief at National Institute of Standards and Technology.[3]

## Awards and honors
