Biography
Vincent started his professional academic carrer with an associates degree in Electromechanical Engineering Technology from Cincinnati State College in 1985. He later went on to earn his bachelors and masters degrees in Electrical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati.As an undergraduate, Vincent worked as a co-op electrical engineer on various electrical design projects at GE Evendale's aircraft engines Business Group. His masters work involved thin film crystal growth of III-V semiconductor devices by MOCVD, with an emphasis toward photonics. Vincent then worked professionally in the telecommunications business in a research capacity for five years in the Boston area. Projects included a lithium niobate based fiber coupled electric field sensor system at Ramar Corporation (recently acquired by JDS Uniphase), and the development of a new external cavity diode laser technology at Corning OCA. Vincent has recently returned to Cincinnati to complete the PhD in electrical engineering with the Electronics, Materials, and Devices group (EMD). His thesis explores a low cost, high performance, optical waveguide tap interconnect technology which is compatible with standard silicon CMOS chips. Vincent's long term goals are to enter into a start-up business in the photonic components and systems business.

Research Interest
Research areas of particular interest to me are tunable narrow line sources and filters, photo-refractive modulators, traveling wave detectors, and photonic bandgap structures. development for new device technologies, optical storage devices and systems and Micro Optical Mechanical Systems(MOMS).
