David Brady, PhD Chief Scientist of Centice Corporation and Addy Family Professor at Duke University David Brady holds a B.A. in physics and mathematics from Macalester College and M.S. and Ph. D. degrees in applied physics from the California Institute of Technology. He was on the faculty of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign from 1990 until joining the Duke faculty in 2001. Brady's research focuses on computational optical sensors. He leads the DISP group (www.disp.duke.edu), which builds interferometric and coherence sensors for 3D microscopy, Raman spectroscopy for biosensors, interferometric telescopy and biometric sensor networks. At the Fitzpatrick Center, Brady focuses on undergraduate and graduate education in photonics, with a particular emphasis on optics as an information science and optics education as a bridge between physical and digital systems. |
