Ben is a photonic scientist and engineer who is actively engaged in communication research with fiber optics. He is looking to pursue a career in photonics with an emphasis on obtaining information from the natural world or in propagating information. He is also interested in bio-photonics which is related directly to this project where the transmitting laser with a high frequency can create novel imaging techniques. He was having been assigned as the project manager, responsible for the overall robustness, and continuity of the design in each aspect and interfacing with each group member in order to establish their goals and responsibilities.
Garrett is also a photonic scientist and engineer is looking to pursue a career in RF design of antennas and semiconductor design. He hopes to go to Master's school for this specialty. He is actively working for a radio and telephone communications company. Garrett was responsible for the prototype assembly and in making sure the optical system can handle the requirements. In addition, for the final design, he will construct the physical housing.
