 Cherry
Murray is physical sciences research vice president at Bell Labs,
Lucent Technologies, Murray Hill, NJ. Her responsibilities include
the direction of Bell Labs research programs in the physical sciences,
semiconductors, silicon electronics, materials processing and power
devices.
In her previous role
as director of physical research, Murray was responsible for the
team that developed Lucent's WaveStar? Lambda Router, a micro-electro
mechanical system (MEMS), which can direct 10 times the traffic
of today's Internet in one second.
Murray was born in Fort
Riley, Kansas and received her undergraduate and Ph.D degrees in
physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1973 and
1978, respectively. She joined Bell Labs in 1978. In 1987, she became
head of the Solid State and Low Temperature Physics Research Department;
became head of the Condensed Matter Physics Research Department
in 1990; head of the Semiconductor Physics Research Department in
1993; director of physical research in 1997; and in March 2000 became
physical sciences research Vice President at Bell Labs.
As a researcher, Murray
has a broad background in experimental research in low temperature,
surface, condensed matter, and complex fluid physics, with particular
emphasis on light scattering and imaging. She has made fundamental
contributions to physics in the area of colloids, particles that
neither dissolve nor settle when suspended in a liquid and that
may have applications in advanced optical and optoelectronic systems.
Murray is a member of
the National Academy of Sciences. She is a fellow of the American
Physical Society (APS) and received the group's Maria Goeppert-Mayer
Award for her early research achievements. She is also a fellow
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is
a member of ACS, Sigma Xi, Optical Society of America and the Panel
on Condensed Matter and Materials Physics.
