For those who are not aware, Bob has been a key figure in the world of optics, being a force to establish using an auto-stigmatic microscope for all sorts of alignment and assembly of optical systems (and that is only a small portion of his contributions). In this episode, Bob Parks discusses his background in optics. The Nuts and Bolts of a Business Plan MIT OpenCourse (free!) View the Youtube video version of the episode here.Ĥ. If you are interested in my own thoughts on a startup, or hearing two scientists talk about the business and ethical considerations of forming a company, please give it a listen! We also touch upon Kris' experience in his own startup. Kris is an excellent interviewer and I believe sheds light on some interesting topics. I do want to give warning this episode is lighter on technical aspects or science and instead focuses on our experience in business. I talk about my own perspectives on being a co-founder of ELE Optics, the general experience, fun, and stress of a startup. In this episode, we do something a bit new, in that I am the person being interviewed by previous guest Kris Ford. Seriously, watch it, a great sci-fi movie.

David has been creating incredible and cutting edge lens designs for decades my first introduction to his work were his free slides he posted which looked like magic to me at the time. In this episode, I sat down with David Shafer.

These are both cutting-edge optical designs so I am sure the audience will have a lot to explore in both. He goes into what drove the design choices and how that impacted the system performance overall. Heejoo discusses the motivations for why innovative designs were required in the LBT metrology system as well as the Hyperion cross-dispersion space telescope. Wyant College of Optical Sciences and an Optical Scientist at the Large Binocular Telescope. He is currently an assistant research professor at the James C. Thompson Optical Design Innovator Award He won the award for an innovative UV cross-dispersion space telescope and engineering of a laser-truss LBT metrology system. In this episode, I sat down with Heejoo Choi.
