Leslie Ann Kolodziejski (born 31 July, 1958) is a Professor of Electronics Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She works on fabricating novel photonic devices and synthesizing the constituent material via molecular-beam epitaxy. She is a Fellow of The Optical Society.

Early life and education

Kolodziejski earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Purdue University, completing her Bachelor's degree in 1983 and Master's in 1984.[1] She remained at Purdue University for her PhD, where she worked on molecular-beam epitaxy.[2][3]

Research and career

Kolodziejski joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Purdue University as an Assistant Professor in 1986.[4] She was awarded the National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award and United States Naval Research Laboratory Fellowship for researching about efficient doping of zinc selenide.[5][6] She moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1988.[7] Kolodziejski was made full Professor in the faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) in 1999, where she currently teaches at both undergraduate and postgraduate level while leading the Integrated Photonic Devices and Materials Group and the Nanoprecision Deposition Laboratory.[8][9]

Academic service

Kolodziejski has served on the editorial boards of Applied Physics Letters and the Journal of Applied Physics.[9] She is a member of the Truth Values Community, which looks to create a better community for women graduate students at MIT through a pairing of science and arts.[10] In 2015 Kolodziejsk was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation award to create a University Centre of Exemplary Mentoring.[11]

Awards and honours

In 201, she was elected as a Fellow of The Optical Society.[9]
