Jelena Vuckovic is
the Jensen Huang Professor in Global Leadership, a Professor of Electrical
Engineering and by courtesy of Applied Physics at Stanford, where she leads
the Nanoscale
and Quantum Photonics Lab. She joined the Stanford Electrical
Engineering Faculty in 2003, upon receiving her PhD degree from the
California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 2002. At Stanford, she has
also served as the Fortinet Founders Chair of the Electrical Engineering
Department, and was the inaugural director of QFARM, the Stanford-SLAC
Quantum Initiative. She is affiliated with Ginzton
Lab, PULSE Institute, SIMES Institute, Stanford Photonics Research Center
(SPRC), SystemX Alliance, Bio-X, and Wu-Tsai
Neurosciences Institute at Stanford. Her awards include the Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship, Geoffrey
Frew Fellowship from the Australian Academy of Sciences, the IET A. F. Harvey Engineering Research Prize, Distinguished
Scholarship of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Munich, Hans
Fischer Senior Fellowship from the Institute for Advanced Studies at TU
Munich, Marko V. Jaric Award for outstanding achievements in physics, Humboldt Prize,
Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, DARPA
Young Faculty Award, and the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator
Award. She was the Mildred Dresselhaus
Lecturer at MIT, and the James Gordon Memorial Speaker at Optica. She is a
Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), of the Optica, and of the
Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE), and a member of the
National Academy of Sciences. Vuckovic was a member of the scientific advisory board of the
Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ) in Munich, Germany, of the
National Science Foundation (NSF) -
Engineering Directorate, of the Ferdinand Braun Institute in Berlin,
Germany, and of SystemX at Stanford. She is the
co-founder of SPINS Photonics,
and has also served as an advisor of semiconductor technology companies.
Currently, she is an Associate Editor of ACS Photonics. Jelena
Vuckovic’s research
interests are broadly in the areas of nanophotonics,
quantum and nonlinear optics. Her lab develops semiconductor-based photonic
chip-scale systems with goals to probe new regimes of light-matter
interaction, as well as to enable platforms for future classical and quantum
information processing technologies. She also works on transforming
conventional photonics with the concept of inverse design, where
optimal photonic devices are designed from scratch using computer algorithms
with little to no human input. Her current projects include quantum and
nonlinear optics, cavity QED, and quantum information processing with color
centers in diamond and in silicon carbide, heterogeneously integrated
chip-scale photonic systems, and on-chip laser driven particle accelerators. For
