Eileen Korenic
Dr. Korenic’s research interests are the optics and
color science of liquid crystals. She is very interested in promoting
scientific literacy at all educational levels through science outreach
programs. Her research has been presented at conventions of the Inter-Society
Color Council, the Materials Research Society, the Optical Society of America,
and the International Liquid Crystal Society in Strasbourg where her thesis
received a Glenn H. Brown prize for outstanding liquid crystal thesis. Before
joining the UW-RF faculty, Dr. Korenic worked as a colorimetry scientist at 3M
in St. Paul where her work received a Circle of Technical Excellence award.
Dr. Korenic received a B.S. with a triple major in
chemistry, biology, and secondary education from Mount Mary College in
Milwaukee, a physics major from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, and
her Ph.D. from the Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester in
Rochester, NY. Her science outreach activities include publication of science
articles for children, public presentations at the University of Rochester’s
Laboratory for Laser Energetics, pre-observatory talks, planetarium
presentations, and public science presentations.
