Electrical Engineer Granted $453K to Create Miniature On-Chip Laser

Jelena Vuckovic, a Jensen Huang Professor in Global Leadership and professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University, is the winner of the £350,000 IET A F Harvey Engineering Research Prize from The Institution of Engineering and Technology, London. The grant will be used to develop an on-chip integrated pulsed laser, which the institution believes will help revolutionize photonic technology and applications that require these lasers, such as medicine, optical communications, quantum computing, and self-driving cars.
