Biography
Professor Cronin-Golomb graduated from University of Sydney
with a B.Sc. in Physics and from Caltech with a Ph.D. in
Physics. His research there was on photorefractive nonlinear
optics in the group of Amnon Yariv where he discovered the
first photorefractive self-pumped phase conjugate mirror. He
worked for two years at Ortel Corporation, researching the
application of photorefractive devices to semiconductor
lasers. He joined Tufts University in 1986 as associate
professor of Electrical Engineering and is now a member the
Department of Biomedical Engineering. In 1996-1997 he was a
visiting associate professor at Stanford University in Steve
Chu’s group.
