Magda Galula Ericson (born 1929[1][2]) is a French-Algerian physicist of Tunisian origin. Her experimental pioneering PhD work changed the understanding of critical phenomena near the Curie point[3] and later in her career she has become known for her theoretical development of the Ericson-Ericson Lorentz-Lorenz correction.
