Join Liam, Pheely, Patrick, and our special guest Dean Eaton! Dean is currently an experimental physicist pursuing his masters degree (soon to be PhD) in physics at Waterloo University under the supervision of Dr. Donna Strickland, a Canadian physicist who won the 2018 Nobel prize in physics for her method of generating high-intensity ultra-short optical pulses through her method of chirped pulse amplification. Dean discusses his research, his hopes and dreams, and his experiences working for a Nobel prize winner. We also discuss robots, artificial intelligence, and end the episode with the story of Donna Strickland.
