She has >80 publications (with 38 journal covers) and has delivered >200 invited talks at conferences and research institutions around the globe. Leite is a Fellow of Optica and of SPIE\, a senior member of IEEE and a 20 26 IEEE Photonics Lectureship Awardee\, a 2025 ACS Energy Lectureship Awar d finalist\, an awardee of the 2016 APS Ovshinsky Sustainable Energy Fello wship from the American Physical Society and of the 2014 Maryland Academy of Sciences Outstanding Young Scientist Award. Her research interests enco mpass materials for sustainability and for photonics (including transient devices and photonics switchability)\, the visualization of dynamic proces ses at the nanoscale in unconventional semiconductors and the use of AI to forecast their behavior. Before joining UC Davis\, Leite was an Associate Professor at the University of Maryland\, College Park. She also worked a t NIST and was a post-doctoral scholar at Caltech. Under her guidance\, th e researchers in the group have received 97 awards in the last 13 years\, including 11 NSF graduate fellowships.\n\nRoom: 1008\, Bldg: Riverside Hal l \, California State University\, Sacramento\, Sacramento\, California\, United States\, 95819\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/578481 LOCATION:Room: 1008\, Bldg: Riverside Hall \, California State University\, Sacramento\, Sacramento\, California\, United States\, 95819\, Virtual: h ttps://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/578481 ORGANIZER:tscheffe@gmail.com SEQUENCE:18 SUMMARY:Photonics area talk by Dr. Marina Leite\, Department of Material Sc ience & Engineering\, UC Davis  URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/578481 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">TECHN ICAL TALK: Advanced photonic materials for sustainability</div>\n<div>&nbs p\;</div>\n<div>CAREER-FOCUSED TALK: Photonics research across borders: op portunities and challenges of globalization</div>\n<div>&nbsp\;</div>\n<di v>Dr. Marina Leite is a Professor in Materials Science and Engineering and a Chancellor&rsquo\;s Fellow at UC Davis (USA).
