Santosh K. Kurinec received her PhD in physics from the University of Delhi,
India, and later became a scientist at the National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi.
She worked as a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Materials
Science and Engineering at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, where
she conducted research on thin metal lm composites. She then served as an assis-
tant professor of electrical engineering at the Florida State University/Florida A&M
University College of Engineering in Tallahassee, Florida, where she researched on
light emission from silicon and superconducting thin lms. She joined the Rochester
Institute of Technology (RIT) in 1988. She served as the head of the Department
of Microelectronic Engineering at RIT from 2001 to 2009. She is currently a pro-
fessor of electrical and microelectronic engineering at RIT. Dr. Kurinec has been
actively engaged in outreach for promoting engineering education. She received
the RIT Trustee Scholarship Award in 2008 and was honored as the Engineer with
Distinction by the Rochester Engineering Society in 2013. She is a fellow of the
IEEE, a member of the American Physical Society (APS) and the New York State
Academy of Sciences (NYAS), associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Education,
and an IEEE EDS Distinguished Lecturer. She received the 2012 IEEE Technical
Field Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching. Her current research activities
include nonvolatile memory, photovoltaics, and advanced integrated circuit materi-
als and processes. She has over 100 publications in research journals and conference
proceedings. She can be reached at santosh.kurinec@rit.edu.
