Currently working in Optical materials R&D, Precision glass molded and Injection Molded optics, Characterization of new optical materials in both oxide and IR, and expanding IR glass families and characterizing them utilizing measured index and dispersion data. I have background in optical element manufacturing and design, glass molding and thin film coating. Currently my work is focused in R&D at RPO, expanding the outer limits of the chalcogenide glass families and expanding the moldable glass map.
