Short CV

Jelena Vuckovic is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Ginzton Laboratory at Stanford University, where she leads the Nanoscale and Quantum Photonics Lab. She received her PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 2002, and M.Sc. and Diploma in Engineering degrees from Caltech and the University of Nis, Serbia, respectively. Upon graduation from Caltech, she has held the following positions at Stanford University: a postdoctoral scholar (January-August 2002), an acting assistant professor (August-December 2002), an assistant professor (January 2003-August 2008), an associate professor of electrical engineering with tenure (September 2008- January 2013), and a professor of electrical engineering (since February 2013). As a Humboldt Prize recepient (2010), she has been visiting the Institute for Physics at the Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany. She has published more than 140 refereed journal articles that have been cited more than 10000 times, 12 book chapters, 11 patents, and has given more than 180 invited talks (as of October 2013).
