She didn't win a Nobel prize at all, Doug. In the talk, a couple of minutes in, she says

"A technology I spent the early part of my career on enables de-scattering. It's called holography. And it won the Nobel Prize in physics in the 70s, because of the fantastic things it enables you to do with light."

The reality is that (Quoting Britannica.com)

Dennis Gabor, (born June 5, 1900, Budapest, Hung.—died Feb. 8, 1979, London, Eng.), Hungarian-born electrical engineer who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1971 for his invention of holography, a system of lensless, three-dimensional photography that has many applications.

So, onnce again, Don has half heard or seen something and made the rest up. A curious brain will look into the presented facts for confirmation. A lazy brain will make them up ;-)
