To recognize the dedicated contributions that researchers have made in the photonics community, the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics (FIP)has created a FIP PIONEER AWARD to honor these individuals.  The 2018 FIP Pioneer Award was presented to Steven Chu, Nobel was held last October at the FITZPATRICK CENTER ATRIUM, DUKE WEST CAMPUS From swarming bacteria to social interactions among humans, the emergence of patterns in nature is ubiquitous. Bonnie Schmittberger writes about the efforts of Daniel Gauthier's research group in this area Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are laser-based imaging systems used by ophthalmologists to detect retinal pathology. This system combines SLO and OCT in a single device. By acquiring high-speed SLO en-face images simultaneously with OCT, retinal motion can be estimated and used to correct for patient motion within an OCT volume.

Her device is able to alert the surgeon during the surgery whether more suspect tissue needs to be removed which helps prevent patients The Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics is an extensively interdisciplinary Duke effort to advance photonics and optical sciences. The institute leverages Duke's faculty from the Pratt School of Engineering, Trinity Arts and Sciences, and the Duke Medical School to explore problems at the boundary nexus of nano-bio-info-opto convergence. The mission of the Fitzpatrick Institute is profoundly educational. The institute was founded in 2000 in part to meet an unmet industry need for graduates with the knowledge and skills to transform industrial R&D in photonics and optical science. Our faculty teach undergraduates, master's and doctoral students and foster the technical, collaboration, interdisciplinary exploration, and
