Kim A. Winick is Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. His research interests include glass and crystal integrated optics, atmospheric optics, quantum optics, digital communication, and information theory.
His research group, together with his collaborators, was one of the first to refine and apply a technique using ultrafast laser pulses to fabricate optical devices, a technology which was subsequently widely adopted by others. His group is also known for its work on rare earth-doped integrated optical devices and ion-exchange.
Dr. Winick received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Michigan in 1981. He was a member of the technical staff at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1981-1988, where he worked on microwave and optical satellite communication systems before returning to the University of Michigan as a faculty member in 1988. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (now Optica) and served as an Associate Editor of Optics Letters from 2004-2007. He received the University of Michigan Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Teaching Excellence Award in 1997.
