Lecture on "Photonics, Diversity & Mentoring" November 8, 2012

Guest lecturer Dr. Anthony M. Johnson, Director of CASPR (Director of the Center for Advanced Studies in Photonics Research), Univ. of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), Professor of Physics and Professor of Computer Science & Electrical Engineering will conduct a public lecture in Lecture Hall 223 of the Mishoe Science Center South on the main campus of DSU.
Dr. Johnson will share his experiences in a career that emphasizes cutting edge research in ultrafast optical phenomena, as well as outreach to women and underrepresented minorities that began over three decades ago at AT&T Bell Laboratories. Dr. Johnson speaks on continuing the research tradition, for over 17 years in academia, mentoring and impacting the lives of bright and motivated women and minority PhD and MS students. He will also touch upon professional service and research grants and the impact these entities have had on the seemingly disparate foci that exists between photonics and diversity.
