Heide Ibrahim appointed director of INRS-EMT’s Advanced Laser Light Source (ALLS)

Congratulations to Heide Ibrahim on her appointment as Director of the  Advanced Laser Light Source (ALLS) at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS).

Her predecessor, François Légaré, now Director of the Centre Énergie, Matériaux et Télécommunications, had nothing but good things to say when he passed the torch to her.

“As a researcher driving science in ALLS, she has been an integral part of our facility for many years. Heide made distinguished contributions for the infrastructure upgrade with high average-power lasers in 2017. Having been a vital member of the ALLS management team since 2019, she has been pivotal in shaping the strategic plan of ALLS and in achieving recognition as a Canadian national user infrastructure under the CFI-MSI program. Consequently, her transition into this leadership role is a natural progression.”

INRS-EMT is fortunate to be able to count on such a talented, experienced and humane researcher and manager. The COPL team wishes her every success in her new role.
