Past Students
Lauren Taylor
Fourth-year Ph.D. student in Imaging Science with a background in physics and biology. Her research work is focused on evaluating the effectiveness of ultrafast laser processing for optics and photonics fabrication applications. She also works on simulating the laser-material interaction process to understand the occurrence of physical phenomena.
John Mooney
Fifth-year BS/MS student John Mooney is an Applied and Computational Mathematics student from the RIT COS School of Mathematical Sciences. His senior project involves refining a mathematical model that describes how ultra-fast lasers can be used in material processing. His research connects a direct problem of finding numerical solutions to partial differential equations to an inverse problem of finding an optimal set of laser parameters for practical use in processing materials like monocrystalline silicon.
Joshua Frechem
Josh received his BS in Physics and Mechanical Engineering from Old Dominion University in 2016. He has experience working with astrophysical data and instruments, nuclear physics detectors, electronics and optics. Josh hopes to focus on AMO physics and photonics/optical engineering after pursuing his PhD in Imaging Science.
Prateek Srivastava
Prateek received his B.Sc (Hons.) in Mathematics (2013) from Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University & MSc in Physics (2015) from Indian Institute of Technology – Delhi (IIT-Delhi), India. He is interested in problems related to Fourier Optics, Image Processing, Holography and Optical Engineering and his current research efforts involve wavefront sensing using Optical Differentiation Wavefront Sensing (ODWS).
Ryan Scott
Ryan Scott has a B.S. in Physics from Rochester Institute of Technology. He graduated in 2016, and plans to continue his studies in Applied Mathematics. His work focuses on computationally modeling Temperature and Energy flow in crystalline Silicon due to ultrafast laser pulses. He works closely with Lauren Taylor, providing the computational models to verify the experimental work Lauren is developing.
Anjali Jogeshwar
Anjali Jogeshwar has received her B. E. in Computers from Mumbai University, India. She is a web designer & a graphic designer by passion and with adroit knowledge in C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS and PHP. She did design an efficient system to identify hand gestures and will continue to focus on Coding and Imaging by working with Ryan on computational models.
