Leslie Kolodziejski

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leslie Kolodziejski (born July 31, 1958 ) is an American physicist and university professor. She is a professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and researches the production of novel photonic components after the synthesis of the material component using molecular beam epitaxy .

life and work

Kolodziejski graduated from Purdue University with a bachelor's degree in 1983 and a master's degree in 1984. She also received her PhD in 1986 from Purdue University, where she studied molecular beam epitaxy. She began 1986 as an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University and in 1988 moved to the Department of Electrical and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1992 she was promoted to associate professor and in 1999 to full professor. Her research includes the design, manufacture, and testing of photonic devices and the integration of active photonic materials with CMOS electronics. She served on the editorial board of Applied Physics Letters and the Journal of Applied Physics . She is a member of the Truth Values ​​Community and the founder of Leaders in Life, an organization that promotes leadership skills among female PhD students.
