Professor Knox works at the Institute for Optics at the University of Rochester. His research covers many areas of optics and photonics, including femtosecond micromachining, holey and photonic-crystal fibers, dispersion management of ultrashort laser pulses and mid-infrared sources. This multifaceted work relates to applications in optical communications, optical sensing and vision science, among other things.  Prof. Knox will help celebrate the 2015 International Year of Light and Light-Based Technology.

Christopher Monroe

Professor Monroe is the Bice Zorn Professor of Physics at the University of Maryland and a Fellow of the Joint Quantum Institute, a joint institute between the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Maryland - College park. His research involves trapped ion quantum computing, quantum networks with atoms and photons, microfabricated atom trap structures and interactions between laser-cooled atoms and ions. Prof. Monroe will help celebrate the  2015 International Year of Light and Light-Based Technology.

Professor Rabe is the Board of Governors Professor of Physics, works at Rutgers University. Her work encompasses numerous areas of condensed matter physics including ferroelectricity, large piezoelectric and dielectric responses, and multiferroicity in metals and insulators, as well as quasi-crystallinity and high-temperature superconductivity. Prof. Rabe uses first-principles density-functional methods and first-principles effective Hamiltonians for theoretical prediction and analysis of properties of existing and yet-to-be-discovered materials.
