Biographical Sketch
Professor Citrin earned a B.A. from Williams College (1985) and a M.S. (1987) and a Ph.D. (1991) from the University of Illinois, all in physics, where his dissertation was on the optical properties of semiconductor quantum wires. Subsequently, he was a post-doctoral research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart, Germany (1992-1993) and Center Fellow at the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science at the University of Michigan (1993-1995). Dr. Citrin was an assistant professor of physics and materials science at Washington State University (1995 to 2001).
Dr. Citrin joined the faculty at Georgia Tech in 2001 where his work ranges from the basic physics underlying the nonlinear and ultrafast optical properties of semiconductors to the simulation of high-speed electronic, photonic, and optoelectronic devices.
