Prof. Amy Foster received her B.S. ('03) in Electrical Engineering from the University at Buffalo. She then completed her M.S. ('08) and Ph.D. ('09) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell University in the research group of Professor Michal Lipson. Her research focuses on the nanoscale design and control of silicon-based photonic devices. Recently, Dr. Foster’s research has focused on validating hydrogenated amorphous silicon as a highly nonlinear, power-efficient material for parametric processes and three dimensional integration. Prof. Amy Foster is the recipient of a 2012 DARPA Young Faculty Award. Please visit Prof. Foster's website at http://engineering.jhu.edu/jhuipl/.
