Courses Taught

1. Digital Holography for Directed-Energy Applications, Spring 2021
   • This full-day short course (eight hours each course) follows the material presented in numerous co-authored publications to cover the topics needed to effectively lead R&D efforts that use digital holography.  The course material is being used to write a new textbook entitled “Advanced Sensing using Digital Holography,” & it is taught at Directed Energy Professional Society (DEPS) Symposia.
2. Digital Holography Short Course, Winter 2021
   • Virtually taught a four-week (8, two-hour lectures), graduate-level course on digital holography to Air Force, Army, & Navy scientists & engineers.  The course material is being used to write a new textbook entitled “Advanced Sensing using Digital Holography.”
3. Fundamentals of Beam Control, Summer 2019
   • Taught a 13-week (26, two-hour lectures), graduate-level course in beam control & atmospheric propagation to AFRL scientists & engineers at Kirtland AFB, NM.  The course material is being used to write “Beam Control for Laser Systems, 3^rd ed.”
4. Introduction to Beam Control, Spring 2019 & 2020
   • This half-day short course (four hours each course) follows the material presented in a co-authored textbook entitled “Beam Control for Laser Systems, 2^nd ed.,” & it is taught at DEPS Symposia.
5. Beam Control for Laser Systems, Spring 2018 & Fall 2019
   • This full-day short course (eight hours each course) follows the material presented in a co-authored textbook entitled “Beam Control for Laser Systems, 2nd Edition,” & it is taught at DEPS Symposia.
6. Linear Systems in Optics, Summer 2015
   • Taught an eight-week (16, two-hour lectures), graduate-level course in Fourier optics to AFRL scientist & engineers at Kirtland AFB, NM.  Most of the course material turned into Chapter 2 of “Beam Control for Laser Systems, 2nd Edition.”
