Clara Rivero Baleine is a Research Scientist Senior Staff at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control and a Senior Professor at the University of Central Florida. Her research integrates materials science, photonics, and optical engineering, with a focus on chalcogenide phase-change films, photochemically engineered infrared micro-gratings, and wide-field-of-view long-wave infrared metalenses for thermal imaging. Recent publications include solution-derived Ge–Sb–Se–Te films and large-area silicon metalenses in venues such as *Scientific Reports*, *ACS Photonics*, and *Advanced Photonics*. She collaborates extensively with MIT, the University of Rochester, and French institutions including the Université de Bordeaux and CNRS, advancing multispectral optical platforms and deep-learning-assisted optical design.
