Elizabeth Downing
Elizabeth Downing is President, CEO, and founder of 3D Technology Labs in Sunnyvale, California. She is a winner of Technology and Innovation awards from Discover Magazine, Industry Week Magazine, and Saatchi & Saatchi, and was recently featured, along with Hillary Rodham Clinton, Madeleine K. Albright, and Sandra Day O’Connor in Feminine Fortunes – Women of the New Millennium.
Dr. Downing is well known for her contributions to the field of volumetric visualization and display technology. She holds more than a dozen patents on optical and laser-based instrumentation, working not only to develop a paradigm shifting technology, but also to channel it into key initial markets where time-critical visualization of volumetric data can mean the difference between life and death. A mechanical engineer specializing in systems integration by training, Dr. Downing not only conceived of the basic concepts, but also has developed the material processing capabilities and integrated the optical systems to create the world’s first 360-degree walk-around three-dimensional display. Founded in 1996 with the help of key technical and business experts, her company, 3D Technology Labs has meticulously pushed the performance envelope of a challenging new visualization frontier.
Since 1996, Dr. Downing has been invited to speak as an expert in her field by the National Academy of Sciences, the Optical Society of America, SIGGRAPH, and the U.S. Display Consortium. In addition, she continues to push the boundaries of field, and is the author of several scientific publications relating to three-dimensional display, nonlinear optics, non-oxide glasses and their applications.
