Alan Willner News
3 Questions Interview
Sep 9, 2016 — Alan Willner, 2016 president of The Optical Society (OSA), entered the field of optics about 30 years ago, receiving a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Columbia University in 1988. He is a former postdoctoral member of the technical staff at AT&T Bell Labs and a member of the technical staff at Bellcore. He joined the University of Southern California in 1992 and is currently the Steven and Kathryn Sample Chair in Engineering. Alan Willner. Photo courtesy of The Optical Society
Art and Science: The Development and Impact of Optics
Sep 9, 2016 — It is said that French painter Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) found inspiration in the optics of color and geometry, and that theories about light and vision informed his work. His paintings, in turn, influenced the work of other artists including...
