Marina Radulaski Named Chancellor’s Fellow
Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Marina Radulaski is among this year’s class of Chancellor’s Fellows at the University of California, Davis. The distinction is given annually to early-career academics who are doing exemplary work in their fields.
Radulaski leads the UC Davis Laboratory for Quantum Nanophotonics. Bridging engineering, physics and material sciences, her research involves the interaction of light and materials at extremely small scales. Radulaski’s work has applications in quantum hardware for networking and simulation, as well as in the near-term use of quantum computers.
Radulaski’s research has attracted numerous awards and grants. She founded the UC Davis Quantum Information Science and Technology, or QuIST, initiative, which crosses departments and colleges, and also mentors student clubs in optics, quantum science and for female engineers.
“Professor Marina Radulaski exemplifies the very best of UC Davis,” wrote Professor Saif Islam, chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in nominating her for the award.
The Chancellor’s Fellows program, created in 2000, awards $25,000 in unrestricted philanthropic funding to support the recipients’ research or scholarly work. Chancellor’s Fellows awards are supported by private contributions to the UC Davis Annual Fund, Parents Fund and Davis Chancellor's Club Fund.
