Lynnette D. Madsen is a Visiting Professor in Materials Science and Engineering and a Visiting Scholar with the Office of Vice President of Research and Innovation and the Dean of Engineering. She comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) where she served as the Program Director for Ceramics and has experience with the Education and Human Resources Directorate, Office of International Science and Engineering, and Human Resource Management. Prior university appointments include being an Expert for the Office of the Vice Provost for Research at the University of Pennsylvania, a visiting/adjunct faculty at Carnegie Mellon University, and faculty at Linköping University (Sweden). Earlier, she held post-doctoral positions at Linköping University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. For the first decade of her career, she was in industry at Nortel Networks.
She has served as a panelist at the National Academies, as a Trustee for AVS, on the Board of Directors for ACerS, and in various roles for the Washington Academy of Sciences. Currently, Dr. Madsen serves on the Advisory Board for the Rosalind Franklin Society and on the Editorial Board for Materials Today. Her areas of expertise include materials, sustainability, manufacturing, diversity, education, and industry partnerships. Her research focuses on policy issues and epitaxial and pseudomorphic thin films. Support has been provided by funding agencies and industry (ABB, Siemens and Nortel Networks).
