The College does over $20M of research per year.  This funding is used to buy equipment, conduct travel, publish papers, and also pay the people who conduct this research.  All of this research is divided up into four research areas or groups: Optical Engineering, Imaging, Photonics, and Optical Physics, which spans from the most applied to the most fundamental.  Do your “research” on those groups who you potentially would like to work.  In the article are College-maintained profiles for a number of the researchers, which also have links to personal research webpages.  The article ends with some guidance on doing this research and how to get an interview.
