At one time Lipson Road, Plymouth led to a place where a creek had to be forded to reach the main road to the east. One theory is that Lipson is a derivation of "leapstone" indicating that stepping stones were used the ford the creek.
Lipson also was credited with establishing stronger ties between faculty and students while he served as chair of the department's undergraduate program from 1977-1980.
Lipson was the academic advisor of the Fromm Institute for Lifelong Learning in San Francisco from 1989 through March, functioning as faculty dean.
Lipson is survived by his wife, Helen Fruchtman Lipson, of Berkeley; his son, David R. Lipson, of Mill Valley; and a granddaughter.
Lipson will receive a five-year grant of $450,000 to support further research in photonics, in which circuits consist of tiny beams of light interacting on a chip.
Lipson already has demonstrated methods to guide, filter, bend and split light on silicon chips at much smaller dimensions than attained by previous researchers, offering the promise of photonic circuits as small as current electronic chips.
Lipson studied physics at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel, receiving her B.A. in 1992, M.S. in 1993 and Ph.D. in 1998.
