Short Biography
Jannick Rolland earned a Diploma from the Institut D'Optique
in 1984, and MS (1985) and Ph.D. (1990) degrees in Optical
Science from the University of Arizona. After a year and
half as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Computer
Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
focused on learning vision and computer graphics while designing
stereoscopic head-worn displays for medical visualization,
Prof. Rolland headed the Vision Research Group for Medical
Displays (1992-1996). In 1996, she joined the College of
Optics and Photonics at the University of Central Florida
(1996-2008) where she built the Optical Diagnostics and
Applications Laboratory (ODALab). In 2009, she joined the
Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester as Professor
of Optics and Biomedical Engineering and Associate Director
of the R.E. Hopkins Center for Optical Design and Engineering.
Professor Rolland served on the editorial board of the Journal
Presence (MIT Press) (1996-2006), and as Associate Editor
of Optical Engineering (1999-2004). She is a Fellow of the
Optical Society of America and SPIE, a senior member of
IEEE, and a member of SID.
Research
Professor Rolland's central research interests are in the
fields of optical instrumentation and system engineering.
Research areas of interest are (1) Optical System Design
for Imaging and Non-imaging Optics (2) Physics-based modeling,
and (3) Image Quality Assessment. These areas have been
applied to Eyewear Displays for Augmented Reality, Optical
Coherence Imaging, Biomedical and Medical Modeling and Simulation,
Alignment of Optical Systems, and 3D Velocimetry.
