Madeleine Glick is a principal research scientist at Intel Research Pittsburgh where her research interests include signal processing and coding for optical links and optical switching for high performance computer interconnects. Madeleine received the Ph.D. degree in physics from Columbia University, New York, in 1988. She then joined the Physics Department, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, where she continued research in electrooptic effects in GaAs- and InP-based materials. From 1992 to 1996, she was a Research Associate with CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, as part of the Lightwave Links for Analogue Signal Transfer Project. From 1997 to 2001, she was with GEC Marconi, as a Project Leader for the work on high-speed InGaAs photodetectors, and then with the Marconi Research Laboratory, Cambridge, U.K., where she pursued research in optical systems.

Madeleine has published over 100 articles. She is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, a member of the UK EPSRC Peer Review College, a project reviewer for EU research projects, an editor of the OSA Journal of Optical Networking and on the editorial advisory board of OSA Optics and Photonics News.
