Dr. Carmen S. Menoni
Dr. Carmen S. Menoni is University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Prof. Menoni’s group investigates the synthesis of amorphous thin film oxides by sputtering and uses spectroscopic and other material diagnostics to identify their structural organization at the nanoscale. Through a combination of fundamental understanding of the optical and structural properties of the thin films materials and device engineering, Dr. Menoni research is advancing the state-of-art in interference coatings for ultra-high intensity lasers and for gravitational wave detectors.
Dr. Menoni is Fellow of the Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the American Physical Society (APS), the Optical Society of America (OSA), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE). Dr. Menoni is co-founder and president of XUV Lasers Inc.
