<m|u> Fall 2005 Physics Seminar Physics Optical Computing & Storage: A physicist’s adventure ! Leo Irakliotis Associate Chair Department of Computer Science University of Chicago & [Miami Physics Alumnus] Abstract: Optical computing emerged as a promising framework for information processing in the 1980s and 1990s. The discovery of more exotic frameworks, most notably quantum computing, signaled the decline of optical computing but interest in optical data storage remained strong. This talk will review the basic techniques for volumetric optical storage, their applications in applied computing, and the lessons learned from the failures of optical computing and the successes of optical storage. Brief Bio: Leo Irakliotis earned an MS degree in Physics from Miami University and a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Colorado State University. In 1996 he joined MCI Telecommunications (prior to the merger with WorldCom) as a senior researcher. In 1998 he joined the faculty at the University of Chicago where he is currently the associate chairman of the Department of Computer Science. Wed. Oct. 5th
