Amanda Kronhardt Fritsch

Formed technician in Chemistry at Fundação Escola Técnica Liberato Salzano Vieira da Cunha (2012), has a degree in Physics from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (2016) and a master's degree in Experimental Physics from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (2019) with emphasis on laser beams with wavefronts modulated by non-Markov phase patterns. She is currently a PhD student in Experimental Physics at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), with an emphasis on non-linear phenomena in laser beams with optical vortices, with passage through the University of Glasgow (UofG) with a scholarship from the Sandwich Program. She has also a leadership role in outreach activities, such as the Student Chapter of UFRGS (OPTICA and SPIE), being directly responsible for recruiting new members, with a special focus on female students. During the pandemic, she organized an optics workshop between Brazil and Scotland in the area of #8203;#8203;structured light beams and played an active role in the development of a UVB light disinfection prototype as part of a project that addresses the challenges posed by the pandemic.
