Biography

Mina Esmaeelpour has been a tenure-track assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly known as the University of Missouri-Rolla or UMR) since September 2019. Her laboratory mainly focuses on fiber optic sensor design for various applications, including biomedical imaging and biosensing, gas and chemical sensing, time-stretch LIDAR, precision spectroscopy, and nonlinear fiber optics for quantum lasers and future telecommunication systems. Dr. Esmaeelpour received her Ph.D. in physics from Lehigh UniversiShe performed most of her Ph.D. work at Bell Labs in Holmdel, NJ, where she interned from 2011-2015. She then became a postdoctoral research scholar at Stanford’s Ginzton Laboratory in 2016 before joining the Molecular Imaging Instrumentation Laboratory (MIIL) at Stanford School of Medicine’s molecular imaging program (MIPS) in 2018.
