Dr. Cecile Jung-Kubiak received her M.S degree in physics and materials chemistry from Polytech Montpellier, Montpellier, France (2006), and her Ph.D. degree in physics from Universite Paris-Sud XI, Orsay, France (2009).

She was the recipient of a two-year NASA Postdoctoral Fellowship with the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA, in 2010, and is currently the Technical Group Lead for the development of Advanced Microsensors and Microsystems at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena. She has co-authored more than 100 papers in international journals and conferences and holds 10 patents. Her research interests include the development of silicon-based micro-instruments, the miniaturization of multipixel arrays at THz frequencies and micro-electrospray propulsion systems. Dr. Jung-Kubiak was the recipient of the 2020 NASA Early Career Public Achievement Medal, the 2018 JPL Lew Allen Award, the 2014 IEEE Terahertz Science and Technology Best Paper Award and the 2010 JPL Outstanding Postdoctoral Research Award in the field of technology, instrumentation, and engineering.
