Dr. Leda Lunardi

Professor

| Biography

Dr. Lunardi is the Education and Diversity Director for the NSF-ERC FREEDM Systems Center and the campus director for the Carolinas Photonics Consortium and the . She was the Director of Graduate Programs during the academic year of 2007-08 for the ECE Department. From 2005-2007, she served as an IPA as program director for the Electrical, Cyber and Communication Systems (ECCS) Division, at the National Science Foundation (Engineering Directorate) in Arlington, VA. After her doctorate studies, Dr. Lunardi joined AT&T (then) Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ and was there till the trivesture. Prior joining academia, she had a brief stint as a senior scientist at JDS Uniphase, NJ. She is an IEEE technical volunteer and has continuously served in technical and executive conference committees, government ad hoc committees for grants and projects reviews.
