Career

Soufli earned her PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, studying the optical Constants of materials in the EUV/Soft X-ray Region for multilayer mirror Applications under the supervision of David Attwood Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, after initially completing an undergraduate degree at the National Technical University of Athens in Greece. [1] After her PhD, she joined the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian in 1997 to work on the optics of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. She then joined Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1999 as a staff scientist.

Soufli is a fellow of the Optical Society of America [2] and a senior member of the SPIE. [3]
