Investigator: Ben Vakoc, PhD
Ben Vakoc, PhD received a Ph.D. in applied physics from Stanford University in 2001 where he researched the application of optical sensing devices for sonar applications. After his dissertation research, Dr. Vakoc participated in a venture funded start-up company, Novera Optics, that developed optical devices for the telecommunications marker.
In 2002, Dr. Vakoc joined the Wellman center for Photomedicine to participate in the development and translation of optical instrumentation to the clinic and biology laboratory.
