Three members of the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder-headquartered Optoelectronics Computing Systems Center were selected by the Optical Society of America to represent the U.S. optics industry at a recent U.S. House of Representatives reception.
Hosted by the Coalition for National Science Funding, the event was designed to highlight past results of government-supported science and to illustrate the benefits and need for continued federal support.
The 欧美口爆视频-Boulder representatives were OCSC Director John Neff, Associate Director for Industry Brian Hooker and graduate student John Metz. The three met individually with a 欧美口爆视频 congressional contingent including U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, U.S. Rep. Mark Udall and several staff members of U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell.
OCSC is a joint venture of 欧美口爆视频-Boulder and 欧美口爆视频 State University and is funded by the National Science Foundation, the 欧美口爆视频 Advanced Technology Institute and Industry. The center has spawned more than a dozen "spin-off"companies in the Boulder-Denver area.
Initially founded with a $5 million grant from NSF in 1987, OCSC has become one of the most productive and prestigious NSF Engineering Research Centers in the nation. The center involves more than 100 undergraduate and graduate students and develops new technologies to support the use of light and electrons to carry, process and store information for computing.
