Carrie Hofmann

Carrie Hofmann serves as the Assistant Director of the Light-Matter Interactions Energy Frontier Research Center (LMI-EFRC) at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). She holds a Ph.D. in Materials Science from Caltech (2010) and oversees team communications, cross-institutional collaborations, and center activities.

• Education:
  • Ph.D. in Materials Science, Caltech (2010)
  • M.S. in Materials Science, Caltech (2006)
  • B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering, University of Florida (2003)

Her research focuses on advanced photonic materials, nanoscale light-matter interactions, and microscale 3D printing technologies. She contributes to the development of plasmon-enhanced nanostructures for solar energy conversion and laser-assisted fabrication of metallic microstructures, aligning with the LMI-EFRC's mission to innovate in light-matter interaction materials and photovoltaics.
