About
Mona Jarrahi is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of terahertz (THz) photonics and ultrafast optoelectronics, with a recent expansion into all-optical machine vision and computational imaging. Her major contributions lie in developing high-performance THz sources, detectors, and systems for spectroscopy, sensing, and imaging, as well as pioneering novel diffractive neural networks that process visual information at the speed of light without any electronic computation. Notably, her work on "Computational imaging without a computer" (2022, 163 citations) demonstrated the first all-optical method to see through random diffusers using deep learning-inspired diffractive surfaces, achieving image reconstruction at the speed of light. She further advanced this paradigm with "All-optical image classification through unknown random diffusers" (2023, 66 citations), enabling object classification behind scattering media without digital processing. Jarrahi’s impact is profound, with her highly cited papers bridging fundamental physics and practical device engineering. She is a Fellow of IEEE, OSA, and SPIE, and her innovations have been recognized with numerous awards, including the NSF CAREER Award and the Moore Inventor Fellowship. Her work continues to inspire new directions in ultrafast imaging and intelligent photonics.
