Life
editBrown earned a B.S. and M.S. from Wright State University and Ph.D. at the University of Dayton.[1][2]
As of 2008, Brown is a research leader and principal research physicist at the Air Force Research Laboratory in the materials and manufacturing directorate's survivability and sensor materials division, electronic and optical materials branch.[1] She researches semiconductors.[3] Her research contributes to fundamental physics and development of "quantum confined" or "quantum well" semiconductor hetero-structure materials for applications in high-performance infrared detectors.[4] In 2007, Brown received the Meritorious Civilian Service Award for her leadership in coordinating a research project, which involved computational modeling and growth of the superlattice materials to initial device testing of the new materials system.[4] Brown was advisor to the National Research Council and an adjunct professor at the center for quantum devices at Northwestern University.[1][2]
As of 2008, Brown is a fellow of the International Society for Optical Engineering and the American Physical Society.[1]
