Optical research at primarily undergraduate institutions: Ultrafast fiber lasers & negative curvature optical fibers
26 April 2022
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)
Conducting research in optical sciences often require expensive and complicated equipment, and dedicated workforce. In this talk, Dr. Akosman will discuss aspects of his own career, which has oscillated between teaching several engineering courses and forming an undergraduate research team at Roger Williams University. Lasers laboratory at RWU currently runs two main optical research projects on ultrafast fiber lasers and negative curvature fibers, and supported by several agencies.
About Our Speaker: Ahmet E. Akosman, RWU
Ahmet E. Akosman joined Roger Williams University in the fall of 2018. He received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Boston University. Dr. Akosman’s dissertation work focused on the ultrafast pulse dynamics in low noise mode-locked fiber lasers.
At RWU, he has research interests in the development of lasers for telecommunications and ranging applications, and novel optical systems for detection applications. His other research interests include photonic systems in sustainable and solar energy, and engineering education.
