Senior🎓
Top SchoolJennifer Kruschwitz is an optical coatings expert and academic leader with over three decades of experience designing thin-film coatings across glass, crystal, semiconductor, metal, plastic, and alloy substrates for academic, government, and commercial customers. As Director of the Robert E. Hopkins Center for Optical Design and Engineering and an Associate Professor at the University of Rochester, she bridges advanced research, curriculum, and hands-on manufacturing support from concept through release to production. She founded and runs a woman-owned consulting practice, represents international coating software in sales and training, and has led coating programs for high-stakes projects ranging from laser facility optics to ophthalmic lenses. Her technical strengths include color science, immersive and entertainment lighting coatings, projection displays, and matched vendor-manufacturer workflows that translate prototypes into manufacturable designs. Jennifer holds a PhD in Color Science and brings rare domain depth in both practical optical production and the theoretical foundations of color and vision systems. Colleagues describe her as equally comfortable at the coating bench, in the classroom, and negotiating cross-disciplinary vendor partnerships.
