Caroline Anne Ross from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was named as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2004[1] for innovative research into the magnetic properties of thin film and nanoscale structures, and for the development of novel lithographic and self-assembly methods for nanostructure fabrication and named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2013[2] for contributions to synthesis and characterization of nanoscale structures and films for magnetic and magneto-optical devices. She is the Associate Head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT.

Early life and education[]

Ross was born in London, England. She received her B.A. in Materials Science from Cambridge University in 1985 and her PhD in Materials Science from Cambridge University in 1988.[3] After a postdoc at Harvard University, she became a research engineer at Komag Inc, a manufacturer of hard disks from 1991 to 1997.[4][5]
