Scientific Advisory Board Professor James Fujimoto - Biography Biography: Professor James Fujimoto Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and James G. Fujimoto obtained his bachelors, masters, and doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1979, 1981, and 1984 respectively. Since 1985 he has been on the faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at M.I.T. where he is currently Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. His research interests include the development and application of femtosecond laser technology and studies of ultrafast phenomena. He is also active in biomedical optics, including the development of optical coherence tomography imaging. Dr. Fujimoto was awarded the Baker Award of the National Academy of Sciences in 1990, the Discover Magazine Award for Technological Innovation in medical diagnostics in 1999, and was co-recipient of the Rank Prize in Optoelectronics in 2002. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2001, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2002, and the National Academy of Sciences of 2006. Dr. Fujimoto is a Fellow of the OSA, APS, and IEEE. He was program co-chair for the Conference on Lasers and Electro Optics CLEO in 2002 and general co-chair for CLEO in 2004. Dr. Fujimoto has been general co-chair of the SPIE BIOS symposium since 2003 and is co-chair of the conference Coherence Domain Optical Methods in Biomedical Science and Clinical Applications since 2000. He was also co-chair of the European Conferences on Biomedical Optics in 2005. Dr. Fujimoto was a member of the board of directors of the Optical Society of America from 2000 to 2003. Dr. Fujimoto was co-founder of Advanced Ophthalmic Devices, the company that transferred OCT to Carl Zeiss for ophthalmic imaging and co-founder of LightLabs Imaging, a joint venture with Carl Zeiss in the area of endoscopic and cardiovascular OCT imaging that was acquired by Goodman, Ltd. in 2002. Biography: Professor Eric A. Swanson Mr. Swanson was a co-founder and first full time employee of LightLab Imaging. Prior to founding Lightlab he founded Advanced Ophthalmic Devices which was acquired by Zeiss Meditec in 1994 and formed the basis of Zeiss's highly successful OCT product lines. Mr. Swanson was also a co-founder of Sycamore Networks a world leading company in intelligent optical networking . Prior to these entrepreneurial activities Mr. Swanson was a Group leader at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory. He has authored more than 180 technical papers, holds 24 US patents and numerous foreign patents, is a Fellow of the OSA and senior member of the IEEE. In 1992 he received the prestigious Rank Price for contributions to mankind in Opto-Electronics for his work in pioneering the field of Optical Coherence Tomography. Mr. Swanson holds a B.S. summa cum laude in Electrical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
