René Zehnder

PhD Candidate Optical Sciences

In summer 2003 a strong storm has torn me out of my roots, my home in Switzerland and blown me west. Fortune dropped me in the land of cacti, Tucson, where I study optics since.
You could call the storm curiosity and the Fortune being a study place at the College of Optical Science.
Meanwhile the few optical questions I had got answered but an other 1001 were raised and so I wonder where the next storm is going to carry me.
