Jannick Rolland, PhD
Brian J. Thompson Professor of Optical Engineering
Professor of Optics and Biomedical Engineering
Professor in the Center for Visual Science
University of Rochester
Jannick Rolland is the Brian J. Thompson Professor of Optical Engineering at the
Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester, NY, and Fellow of OSA and SPIE.
She directs the NSF-I/UCRC Center for Freeform Optics (CeFO) (http://
CenterFreeformOptics.org), the R.E. Hopkins Center
(www.hopkinscenter.rochester.edu), and the ODALab (www.odalabspectrum.org). She graduated from the optical engineering school of the Institut
d'Optique Théorique et Appliquée, France, and earned a PhD from the College of
Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona, USA. Professor Rolland is the
recipient of the 2014 David Richardson Medal, awarded from the Optical Society
of America. Her current research interest include bridging between the theory of
optical aberrations for rotationally nonsymmetric optical systems and engineered
optical solutions that may lead to innovation in compact and mobile technologies,
where freeform optics is poised to play a revolutionary role.
