Gail J. Brown is an American semiconductor physicist in the materials and manufacturing directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Brown 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]
