Laura M. Roth is an American solid state physicist, and an American Physical Society Fellow.

Career

Around 1960, Roth was working at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Along with Mildred Dresselhaus, she was one of only two women among approximately 1000 men.[1] Around this time she was being mentored by Benjamin Lax.[2] She also has co-authored papers with Kenneth Button.[3]

Roth became an American Physical Society Fellow in 1967, while at Tufts University.[4]

She is currently Emerita Professor at Department of Physics, University at Albany.[5]
