Vučković's research interests include nanophotonics, quantum information technologies, quantum optics, photonics inverse design, nonlinear optics, optoelectronics, cavity QED.[5][6]
Vučković is also an associate editor for ACS Photonics Journal.[7]
Early life and education
editJelena Vučković was born in Niš, Serbia. She studied at the University of Niš.[8] She received her M.S. (1997) and PhD (2002) in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). In 2002, she was a postdoctoral scholar in the Applied Physics Department at Stanford. She became Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department in 2003.[9]
Career and research
editVučković is the Jensen Huang Professor in Global Leadership, Professor of Electrical Engineering, and by courtesy of Applied Physics at Stanford University. She is the lead/principal investigator the NQP Lab at Stanford, and is a faculty member of the Ginzton Lab, PULSE, SPRC, SystemX, and Bio-X.[10][9]
As of 2018, she was part of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ), a Scientific Advisory Board Member, part of the Ferdinand-Braun Institute, and a SystemX Board Member.[9]
Her PhD advisees include Ilya Fushman (PhD 2008),[11] and she and Fushman were among lead authors on a quantum computing paper published in Nature in 2007[12] and Science in 2008.[13]
Other PhD advisees include Andrei Faraon (PhD 2009),[14][11] MIT professor Dirk Englund (PhD 2008),[15] and Hatice Altug (PhD 2006), professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne.[16]
As of 2018[update], Vuckovic's research areas include:[5][6] nanophotonics, quantum information, quantum technology, quantum optics, Integrated quantum photonics, photonics inverse design, nonlinear optics, optoelectronics, and cavity QED.
Vučković's lab invented a software suite called Spins.[17] It automates the design of arbitrary nanophotonic devices by leveraging gradient-based optimization techniques that can explore a large space of possible designs. The resulting devices have higher efficiencies, smaller footprints, and novel functionalities.,[17] Vučković holds 15 patents.[18]
Vučković was the "Fortinet Founders" chair of the Stanford Department of Electrical Engineering from August 2021 – June 2023,[3] and lead researcher of the Nanoscale and Quantum Photonics (NQP) lab.[19]
