Study in Chile with me. Dialogues of Civilization, SU1. Learn about our group. The Optical Science Laboratory. Check out our microscope. The W.M.Keck 3-D Fusion Microscope. Join our group. Research Opportunities for Graduate Students. e-mail to dimarzio @ ece.neu.edu Learn about my consulting availability. Ski with me in 2021/2.

My lab, the  Optical Science Laboratory (OSL) is located in room 352 of the Egan Engineering and Science Research Center. You can find directions at at http://www.ece.neu.edu/groups/osl/directions.html.

My office is in 302 Stearns.

My textbook: Optics for Engineers My book, Optics for Engineers, is now available. Click on the book or the link above for more information from my publisher, CRC Press.

Our group, the Optical Science Laboratory (OSL) is particularly interested in those optical imaging techniques which involve coherent detection, multi-modal imaging, multi-wave imaging (where light is used in combination with another type of wave such as ultrasound). Our applications include biological and medical imaging, including embryos, skin, collagen, and lung.

Here is my weekly schedule for the present term: 

My normal hours on campus are from 9AM through 6PM, but this varies considerably, and I am usually fully scheduled every day, so the chance of catching me with a free moment is very small. For that reason, I prefer to arrange meeting times in advance. Send an email first, and schedule a meeting time.

Some Personal Information

We enjoy travel almost anywhere, attending plays, concerts and cooking.

For outdoor activities, I enjoy running (see Greater Boston Track Club for running information in Boston), bicycling, both for getting around the city (in the good weather at least), and for pleasure (see my page on car-free biking around Boston,  http:// http://www.ece.neu.edu/faculty/dimarzio/bike/ ), and skiing almost every winter weekend at Killington, VT, and occasionally elsewhere.

Some pictures of leisure activities including skiing on a smoking volcano, a Century bike ride and more.

"This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as I live it is my privilege - my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I love. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me; it is a sort of splendid torch which I’ve got a hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."

--George Bernard Shaw

ABOUT THE BACKGROUND: My favorite winter passtime is skiing. I put this background together from a detail of a photograph taken at Park City, in 2003. There are four copies in different orientations so that the tracks (and more importantly, the brightness levels) line up as the pattern repeats.
