Michal Lipson

Michal Lipson (born 1970) is an American physicist known for her work on silicon photonics. She is an associate professor at Cornell University in the school of electrical and computer engineering and a member of the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience at Cornell.[1] She was named a 2010 MacArthur Fellow.[2]

Education

After spending two years as a BS student at the Instituto de Física of the University of São Paulo, Dr. Lipson obtained a BS in physics from The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in 1992. She went on to obtain a PhD in physics from the same university in 1998, with the thesis topic "Coupled Exciton-Photon Modes in Semiconductor Optical Microcavities." Dr. Lipson spent 2 years as a postdoctoral associate with Lionel Kimerling at MIT, and then accepted a position at Cornell University in 2001.

Research

Dr. Lipson is perhaps best known for her work on silicon photonics. She developed (along with other researchers around the world at IBM, Intel, Ghent University) silicon photonic components such as waveguide couplers, ring resonators, modulators, detectors, WDM wavelength sources and sensors on silicon platform. She published the first paper on a class of versatile waveguides known as Slot-waveguides in 2004,[3] which has since been cited over a hundred times. She was also the first to demonstrate optical parametric gain in silicon,[4] which was considered an important step towards building optical amplifiers in silicon.

Dr. Lipson has received numerous honors, including being the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship[5] and an NSF Young Investigator Career award. Her current research interests include silicon nanotransistors, low-power and compact optical modulators, and slot waveguides. Her work has appeared in Nature, Nature Photonics, and other journals.
