Manijeh Razeghi received the Doctorat d’Etat es Sciences Physiques degree from the Université de Paris, France, in 1980.,After heading the Exploratory Materials Laboratory, Thomson-CSF (now Thales), France, she joined Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA, as a Walter P. Murphy Professor and the Director of the Center for Quantum Devices in 1992. She is one of the leading scientists in the field of semiconductor science and technology, pioneering in the development and implementation of major modern epitaxial techniques, such as MOCVD, VPE, gas MBE, and MOMBE, for the growth of entire compositional ranges of III–V compound semiconductors. Her current research interest includes nanoscale optoelectronic quantum devices. She is also a Fellow of SPIE, a Fellow and a Life Member of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), a Fellow of The International Engineering Consortium (IEC) and the Optical Society of America (OSA), and a member of the Electrochemical Society, ACS, MRS, APS, OSA, AAAS, and the French Academy of Sciences and Technology.
