Duncan
MacFarlane
is a full professor of electrical engineering at The University of Texas at
Dallas. Duncan has written
more than 100 technical papers or patents in the general area of photonic
systems and components. Specific research projects have included
micro-optics, ultrafast lasers, photonic integrated filters, nonlinear
optics, semiconductor lasers, ellipsometry, and advanced displays. His work
in photonic filters is used widely by practicing optical component and
system engineers in industry. He pioneered the manufacture of micro-optics
using ink jet techniques, and invented a novel 3-dimensional volumetric
display which has found application in aerospace. Duncan
received his BSEE and MSEE from Brown
University, his Ph.D. from Portland State University
and his MBA from SMU. He has worked at Schafer Associates, Texas
Instruments and at JDS Uniphase, and helped start Celion Networks, a
telecommunications system start-up backed by Sequoia. He is a co-Founder of
MRRA, a company dedicated to improving medical imaging through supporting
instrumentation. He teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in
Electromagnetics, Microwave Engineering, Optics, Probability and
Statistics, Communication Systems and Electronics. Duncan is a registered
professional engineer in the state of Texas and a Fellow of the Optical
Society of America.
