SPIE Student Chapter Faculty Talk Series: "Long and Sinuous Way in Optics Research" by Dr. Leonid Glebov

Friday, December 11, 2015 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
CREOL Room 103

Celebrating the International Year of Light 2015 

Abstract: I will tell about long (almost half century) path in optics that went through basic and applied research, administrative and business involvement, different countries and economic systems. I will try to show importance of understanding not only your scientific field but principles of interaction with people and communities of different scale from laboratory to country.

Biography: Leonid B. Glebov earned his Ph.D. in Physics (major in Optics) from State Optical Institute (SOI), Leningrad, Russia in 1976. He was affiliated with this institute until 1995. During which time he held various positions in research and scientific management. After his tenure at SOI, Glebov joined the University of Central Florida School of Optics/CREOL.
