Research Areas
The College of Optics and Photonics’ faculty
and research staff perform research using state
of the art equipment and facilities in the 82,000
sq.ft. building on campus.Their research activities
span the spectrum from basic science to prototype
development, and they pursue joint research projects
with industry, academia, and government laboratories.
These researchers/teachers are always seeking
new opportunities to work with industry to expose
students to the industrial environment and to
aid in technology transfer.
These research programs are supports by over US
$25 million in research grants and contracts from
numerous federal and state industry.Current research

Metro
Orlando
More than
the nation’s number one tourist destination,
Orlando is a bustling center of tourism, and technology,
with access to entertainment attractions and major
film studios, and leading companies such as Harris
Corporation, Lucent, Lockheed Martin and Oracle.
In addition, only minutes away are the NASA space
program, Kennedy Space Center and Florida’s
High Tech Corridor.
The cost of living in Orlando is less than the national
average and there is no state income tax.
