Kristan Lee Corwin is an American physicist who is a professor and division chief at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Her research considers nonlinear optics and emerging laser systems.
Early life and education
Corwin grew up in Western New York. She studied physics at the University at Buffalo.[1] She moved to the University of Colorado Boulder for graduate studies, where she worked on laser trapping and molecular cooling with Carl Wieman.[2] She moved to the École Normale Supérieure for a postdoctoral fellowship, where she worked alongside Christophe Salomon on quantum gases.[3] Corwin then returned to the United States, where she worked as a research fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.[3]
Research and career
In 2003, Corwin joined the faculty at the Kansas State University,[1][4] where she was made Ernest K. and Lillian E. Chapin Professor of Physics and Dean for Research. Her research has considered nonlinear optics and novel laser systems.[5] In 2019, she was made Division Chief at National Institute of Standards and Technology.[3]
