Our Speakers

  • Defense Engineering Education Program in Optics (DEEP OPS) – the $4.4 million grant from the Office of Naval Research – What it means for your company and how you can help.  Alexis Vogt, PhD, Associate Professor & Endowed Chair, Optical Systems Technology, Monroe Community College

America’s Optics Industry is watching as Rochester continues to lead on K-12 and High School optics education, Precision Optics Technican training in Community Colleges, and developing future technologies for optics manufacturers. Everyone knows that these are national security issues.
We cannot afford to fail.
