Background Information

Mikhail A. Vorontsov received his Ph.D. in physics in 1977 and Doctor of Science in physics and mathematics in 1989, both from Moscow State University. Until 1993 he was a professor of physics in the Physics Department and at the International Laser Center of Moscow State University. From 1993 to 1997 Dr. Vorontsov was a professor of mechanical engineering at New Mexico State University and held a concurrent IPA appointment with the Army Research Laboratory. He was a Research Fellow in the Computational and Information Sciences Directorate of the Army Research Laboratory from 1997–2009.

Currently he is the Director of the Intelligent Optics Laboratory and Professor and Endowed Chair for the Ladar and Free Space Optical Communications Institute (LOCI) at the University of Dayton. He has published over 230 papers and four books on the subjects of adaptive optics, nonlinear spatio-temporal dynamics, imaging through turbulence, parallel image processing and correction, optical synergetics, optimal control theory, and optical neural networks. He has supervised the dissertations of twelve Ph.D. students. Dr. Vorontsov is frequently requested as a speaker and guest lecturer and has chaired a number of international conferences. He is both an OSA and SPIE Fellow.
