Dr. Jim is a Research Professor Emeritus at the world-renowned
College of Optical Sciences
(formerly Optical Sciences Center) at the University of Arizona. He earned MS and PhD
degrees in optics at the College of Optical Sciences, specializing in radiometry and infrared
systems. He has worked in these areas for over forty years, and has been involved in
many aspects of radiometric instrumentation and detector design and fabrication,
radiometric measurements and calibration, and radiometric systems analysis. |

Besides
teaching radiometry at the College of Optical Sciences both at
the undergraduate and graduate levels, Dr. Palmer teaches several Short Courses in Radiometry for SPIE and the Optical Society
of America. He has also prepared many lectures and short courses for industry,
and consulted on a variety of problems involving radiometric instruments, measurements and
calibrations. He has nearly forty papers published concerning radiometry and allied
topics, and is currently preparing a book entitled "The Art of Radiometry".
LATE FLASH: Dr. Palmer has officially retired from the University
of Arizona as of 6/30/2004. However, he is not going away real soon now.
He will continue to teach OPTI 400/500, as well as
assist Dr. Nof , for the foreseeable future. Small research projects, such
as refractive index measurements, will continue to be supported, and other
small-scale tasks may be undertaken as well. Hopefully this move will
allow more time for preparation of various publications ("The Art of
Radiometry," etc.).
