Over the years, the curriculum has expanded and been reorganized to include modern developments. Now, there are more experiments involving lasers and holography. The majority of our students will pursue careers in industrial research. There are so many more opportunities for them in research today. When the students reach my lab, they are committed to the pursuit of a career in the field of optics, serious about their education, and focused on their objectives.
Many scientists pursue careers in research.
When I started out, I knew that upper level education was at the top of my list. It makes me feel good seeing my students succeed. I have had very satisfying and useful experiences here. There has never been a time that I have wished to pursue a different course. Rumor has it you have another passion besides teaching optics.
