Julie Elizabeth Fouquet (born March 23, 1958) is an American applied physicist, engineer, laser scientist, and inventor known for her work in optical networking and wave power.
Education
[edit]Fouquet was born in Palo Alto, California.[1] She majored in physics at Harvard University (Radcliffe College), advised by Edward Mills Purcell.[2] At Harvard, she served as the undergraduate representative on the university's Advisory Committee on Shareholder Responsibility, but resigned in 1978 in protest of its makeup and behavior.[3] She graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1980,[2][4] and earned a Ph.D. in applied physics from Stanford University in 1986,[2][5] with the dissertation Recombination Dynamics in Quantum Well Semiconductor Structures supervised by laser scientist Anthony E. Siegman.[6]
Career
[edit]She began working for HP Labs in 1985,[1] and later worked for the HP spin-off company Agilent Technologies.[2] There, she developed all-optical switches based on reflection of light from bubbles in a fluid, generated using the same technology used for inkjet printers.[2][7] In 2004, she was named a Fellow of the IEEE, "for contributions to optical switch and light-emitting device technologies".[8] Parts of Agilent spun off again into Avago Technologies in 2005, and Fouquet came to work for Avago as a senior principal research scientist.[5]
In 2015, she founded 3newable LLC, a company focused on developing renewable energy from ocean waves.[9]
