Dr. Brown received her PhD in Applied Physics in 2016. She earned a bachelors in Physics from Stanford University where she completed an honors research project investigating plasmonic resonators in Professor Brongersma’s lab. Her research interests include optics, plasmonics, thermodynamics of plasmonic systems, optoelectronic modulation, electron dynamics, and applications of these topics to sustainability innovations. Ana was awarded an NSF Fellowship in 2010 and the Link Foundation Energy Fellowship in 2014. In 2013 she was honored with an outstanding TA award.
