He is The Boeing Company Fiber Optic Architect, and Associate Technical Fellow, and worked for 25 years for Boeing as well as 10 years for telecom, lasers, sensors, and MEMS industries. He also taught physics and materials science for several years at the University of Southern California. Currently, he is the Principal Consultant for the development of a new generation of fiber optics and sensors for the Boeing Company.
3. Peter J. Delfyett: Peter J. Delfyett received the B.E.(E.E.) degree from The City College of New York in 1981, the M.S. degree in EE from The University of Rochester in 1983, the M. Phil and Ph.D. degrees from The Graduate School & University Center of the City University of New York in 1987 and 1988, respectively. His Ph.D. thesis was focused on developing a real-time ultrafast spectroscopic probe to study molecular and phonon dynamics in condensed matter using optical phase conjugation techniques. After obtaining the Ph.D. degree, he joined Bell Communication Research as a Member of the Technical Staff, where he concentrated his efforts towards generating ultrafast high-power optical pulses from semiconductor diode lasers, for applications in applied photonic networks.
4. Brock Koren: Brock Koren is the director of Business Development/Sales at DRS Daylight Solutions. He is a Technical Executive with over 20 years of diversified experience in high technology companies with domestic and international business, full P/L, sales and marketing, business development, product management, strategic planning and operations in the Photonics, Optics, Optical (materials, coatings, filters and systems), Lasers, Display, Light Sources, Optoelectronics, Test and Measurement and Electronic Manufacturing Services.
5. Bing Yu: Dr. Bing Yu received his Ph.D. from Virginia Tech in 2005 and postdoctoral training from Duke University between 2005-08. Dr. Yu is currently an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Director and Principal Investigator of the Biophotonics Laboratory at Marquette University and Medical College of Wisconsin Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering. His work focuses on the development of technologies targeting cancer detection and endotracheal tube placement monitoring using the science of biophotonics.
6. Lingyan Shi: Dr. Lingyan Shi is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, San Diego. Her pioneering work in developing and applying novel optical techniques has led to a number of significant breakthroughs in biophotonics with major implications for the fields of neuroscience and cancer research and is allowing us to visualize the mechanisms underlying everyday processes and disease. One of Dr. Shi’s most significant discoveries has been the development of a new experimental technique that combines heavy water labeling and a relatively new imaging method, stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, to probe the metabolic activities of living tissues at subcellular resolution in situ. This discovery facilitates the visualization of tumor boundaries, embryonic development, and even aging in biological tissue.
7. Boris Gramatikov - Dr. Gramatikov is an associate professor in the Division of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus at the Wilmer Eye Institute. He is a biomedical engineer with expertise in medical instrumentation, electronic hardware, optoelectronics, medical optics, computer software, signal processing, computer modeling, and data analysis. He has participated in many instrumentation development projects and has been the principal investigator on two major projects resulting in the development of prototypes of diagnostic devices for pediatric ophthalmology.
8. Binlin Wu: Dr. Binlin Wu is currently an Assistant Professor in the Physics Department at Southern Connecticut State University. Dr. Wu earned his Ph.D. degree from the City College of New York. After that, he did a two-year postdoc at Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Wu’s research is focused on biomedical optical imaging and spectroscopy mainly for cancer imaging and diagnosis. Dr. Wu has expertise in diffuse optical imaging, fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, multiphoton imaging, and machine learning.
