Donald Barnhart has been developing optical design and analysis software in Mathematica since 1991. His Optica software package, introduced in 1994, is used by thousands of scientists across the world. Donald developed the world's first successful high-resolution holographic instrument to measure three-dimensional velocity fields in fluids, the results of which appeared on the front cover of Applied Optics in 1994 and are cited in over 200 publications. Donald received the Rank Prize in 2001 for the best electro-optics Ph.D. dissertation in the United Kingdom. The optics group to which he belonged at Loughborough University received the Queen's Anniversary Prize, awarded personally by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. Since 2004 Donald has been the chief optical scientist for iCyt Mission Technology, a Sony USA subsidiary that produces flow cytometers for stem cell and cancer research, in addition to his ongoing Optica business.
a research and development company with Optica Software as a division.
1994 World's first successful holographic velocimetry measurement presented on front cover of Applied Optics journal.
As the lead developer of Optica Software, I am continually developing this software as a consultant for new business applications in a wide range of professional settings involving optical systems design and modeling.
digital holographic microscope for high-resolution, volumetric imaging.
A third interest is the development of new optical instrumentation for remote sensing. This interest is connected with a personal endeavor to restore more than 100 acres of farmland into native tall grass prairie (see below). Although my experience in this research area is still limited, I wish to develop new instrumentation for mapping out species distributions in high-diversity, natural plant communities, such as the tall grass prairie, on a spatial scale that enables the individual plants to be accurately located, identified, and cataloged. In addition, the same instrumentation can have applications in commercial agriculture, for which research/business funding is more abundantly available.
