Vaccine Mandate

To keep you and those around you safe, you must meet the UC COVID-19 vaccine requirements. We are following the same protocol as UC Berkeley. More details on how to do so will be sent to you shortly.

If you enroll in a class that will be held at Golden Bear Center or on the main campus, you will also need to participate in surveillance testing. If you are taking classes at our San Francisco campus or at a partner institution, you will need to comply with their public health policies. More information will be available in the coming weeks.

Leonard Filane

I was born in the Soviet Union in the city of Leningrad. Immigrated to USA as a political refugee in mid-1970's. I hold Ph.D. in Solid State Physics, M.S. in Physics of Semiconductors, and M.S. in Materials Science. My education and teaching were done at Leningrad State University, Leningrad Institute of Technology and Stevens Institute of Technology. Prior to teaching full-time I worked on semiconductor processing at RCA/GE, AT&T/Bell Labs, EG&G, LSI Logic. In 2008 I co-founded a solar cell start up. I am passionate about quantum computing. After a long day I would love to listen to Beethoven, Mozart, Vystosky and Squirrel Nut Zippers. When bored I read  on quantum mechanics and ancient Roman history. Sometimes I can be found in a martial arts dojo.
