Michal Lipson

After completing her Ph.D. in 1999 on semiconductor microcavities, Michal Lipson joined the department of Material Science in MIT as a Postdoctoral Associate. Her research in MIT involved the physics and applications of Si-based photonic structures for on-chip applications.
Her research demonstrated the first proof that one could achieve strong coupling between light and matter in a Si structure. On July 2001 Lipson joined the school of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University as an Assistant Professor. She has industrial experience in Photonics, extensive experience in teaching undergraduate and graduate students, as well as publications across a wide range of disciplines related to optoelectronics and nanophotonics.
