Biography
Jerome V Moloney is a Professor of Mathematics and Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona and is Director of the Arizona Center for Mathematical Sciences, an internationally recognized research center in applied mathematics. He is a fellow of the Optical Society of America and a recipient of the Alexander von Humboldt Prize in physics. Research interests span a wide range of photonics and nonlinear optics fields including ultrashort, high power femtosecond pulse propagation; computational nanophotonics, fiber laser modeling, many-body physics of semiconductor optical properties and modeling semiconductor passive and active devices. He has published more than 400 papers in peer-reviewed journals and has given over two hundred invited papers at national and international conferences.
