Dr. Curtis Menyuk, professor of computer science and electrical engineering, specializes in the theory and simulation of opitcal and photonic systems. A member of UMBC's Computational Photonics Laboratory, he is currently interested in short-pulse lasers and time and frequency transfer networks. "One of the central themes in my career has been an interest in solitons,” says Dr. Menyuk who first became interested in lasers in the early eighties while doing collaborative research with Linn Mollenauer.
