Jelena Notaros is an Associate Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, specializing in Silicon Photonics. Her research focuses on integrating photonics with silicon nanoelectronics to develop advanced systems on a chip. Notaros has pioneered the design of single-chip optical phased arrays and CMOS-compatible silicon photonics platforms, enabling applications in coherent LiDAR, visible-light communication, and optical tweezers. Her work emphasizes monolithic integration of optical components with electronic circuits, supporting cryogenic operation and programmable dispersion for classical and quantum applications. Notaros' research also explores liquid-crystal-based phase modulators and integrated optical phased arrays for near-field focusing and underwater communications.
