Christi Madsen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christi Kay Madsen is an American optical engineer. She is a professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University. Her research interests include optical filters, photonics, optical communication using wavelength-division multiplexing, and solar energy.[1] She is particularly known for her development of coupled multiple ring resonator filters and multistage optical all-pass filters.[2]
Madsen majored in electrical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, graduating in 1986. She continued her studies in electrical engineering at Stanford University, where she received a master's degree in 1987, and at Rutgers University, where she completed her Ph.D. in 1996.[1][3]
She was a distinguished member of the technical staff at Bell Labs and later Lucent Technologies before taking her present position at Texas A&M University in 2004. She is also the founder of a spinoff company from Texas A&M, Sunstrike Optics LLC.[2]
