Michal Lipson (born 1970) is an American physicist known for her work on

MacArthur Fellow for contributions to silicon photonics especially towards enabling GHz silicon active devices .[1] Until 2014, she was the Given Foundation Professor of Engineering at Cornell University in the school of electrical and computer engineering and a member of the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience at Cornell.[2] She is now the Eugene Higgins Professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University.[3] In 2009 she co-founded the company PicoLuz, which develops and commercializes silicon nanophotonics technologies.[4][5] In 2019, she co-founded Voyant Photonics, which develops next generation lidar technology based on silicon photonics.[6] In 2020 Lipson was elected the 2021 vice president of Optica (formerly the Optical Society), and serves as the Optica president in 2023.[7]

Education

After spending two years as a BS student at the Instituto de Física of the

MIT, and then accepted a position at Cornell University
in 2001.

Career and research

Lipson is best known for her work on silicon photonics. She developed (along with other researchers around the world at IBM, Intel, Ghent University) silicon photonic components such as waveguide couplers, ring resonators, modulators, detectors, WDM wavelength sources and sensors on silicon platform. She published the first paper on a class of versatile waveguides known as

better source needed] She was also the first to demonstrate optical parametric gain in silicon,[10]
which was considered an important step towards building optical amplifiers in silicon.

Lipson's McArthur fellowship [1] citation mentions her work in ring modulators (circular waveguides) as the key contribution of Lipson via the continued refinement of both opto-electronic and purely optical circuits for smaller size,[11] increased efficiency, and accelerated switching speed [12] The resulting silicon-based photonic integrated circuits have the potential to improve signal transmission and processing dramatically.

Lipson has received numerous honors, including being the recipient of a

slot waveguides
. Her work has appeared in Nature, Nature Photonics, and other journals.
