Azriel Z. Genack is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at Queens College, City University of New York. With a career spanning over five decades since earning his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1973, Professor Genack has established himself as a leading researcher in wave propagation through random media. His laboratory at Queens College, established with Dr. Narciso Garcia, focuses on fundamental studies of microwave and optical wave transport in disordered systems. Genack received his B.A. from Columbia College in 1964 and his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1973. His academic journey has been dedicated to understanding wave phenomena in complex media, bridging classical wave physics with quantum mechanical concepts. Professor Genack's research explores the universal principles of wave propagation in random systems, with applications to imaging and communications. His work spans Anderson localization, statistical properties of wave transport in space and time, crossovers between ballistic, diffusive and localized regimes, photonic topological insulators, and chiral fiber optics. His laboratory has made seminal contributions including the demonstration of Anderson localization in photonic systems, studies of transmission eigenchannels, and the development of concepts for robust transport in topological photonic structures. Analysis of Genack's recent publications reveals a continued focus on fundamental wave phenomena in increasingly complex systems. His work has evolved from basic studies of wave localization to more sophisticated investigations of topological effects, non-Hermitian systems, and Lévy disorder. The consistent thread through his research is the application of statistical physics approaches to understand wave transport in disordered media across multiple disciplines. Professor Genack's research has led to practical applications, most notably contributing to the formation of Chiral Phonics, Inc., which develops microfabricated optical fiber-based components for sensing and coupling applications. His laboratory at Queens College continues to be at the forefront of research in wave physics, with publications appearing in top journals including Nature Communications, Physical Review Letters, and Science.
