Vučković's research interests include nanophotonics, quantum information technologies, quantum optics, photonics inverse design, nonlinear optics, optoelectronics, cavity QED.[4][5]

Vučković is also an associate editor for ACS Photonics Journal.[6]

Early life and education

Jelena Vučković was born in Niš, Serbia. She studied at the University of Niš.[7] 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.[8][9]

Career and research

Vučković 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][8]

As of 2018, she is a Scientific Advisory Board Member, Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ); Scientific Advisory Board Member, Ferdinand-Braun Institute; a SystemX Board Member.[8]

Her PhD advisees include[11] Ilya Fushman, PhD (2008), Kleiner Perkins, Andrei Faraon, PhD (2009),[11] Dirk Englund, PhD (2008), professor MIT, and Hatice Altug, PhD (2006), professor EPFL.

As of 2018, Vuckovic's research areas include:[4][5] 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. 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.[12] As of 2018, Vučković holds 15 patents.[13]
