Jelena Vuckovic is the Jensen Huang Professor of Global Leadership, Professor of Electrical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Applied Physics at Stanford, where she leads the Nanoscale and Quantum Photonics Lab in the Ginzton Laboratory. She joined the Stanford Faculty in 2003, upon receiving her PhD degree from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 2002. At Stanford, she also served as the Fortinet Founders Chair of the Electrical Engineering Department, and was the inaugural director of QFARM, the Stanford-SLAC Quantum Initiative.
Vuckovic is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and an External Scientific Member of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics. 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).
Vuckovic is a co-founder and a lead scientific advisor of SPINS Photonics, a company commercializing photonics inverse design, and is a lead editor of Physical Review Applied.
Jelena Vuckovic’s research interests are broadly in the areas of photonics, quantum science and engineering, quantum optics, photonics inverse design, nonlinear optics, and cavity QED. Her current projects include semiconductor quantum systems, heterogeneously integrated, inverse designed photonics, and on-chip integrated laser systems, including Ti:sapphire lasers.
