Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Chapman is an optical and photonics engineer with a decade of hands-on experience designing, simulating, and building optical systems for defense and quantum-communication applications. With an Optics BS and Physics BA from the University of Rochester and an MSc from Purdue studying RF-over-fiber synchronization, he blends rigorous academic research (nonlinear and quantum optics) with practical R&D at Penn State Applied Research Laboratory. His internship work spans industry leaders like Collins Aerospace and Danbury Mission Technologies, where he developed wavefront-reconstruction algorithms and large-spectrum optical metrology setups. Stephen particularly enjoys taking designs from simulation into the lab, and his MATLAB tools for Gaussian beam propagation have practical impact on directed-energy programs. Based in Fort Wayne, he brings both experimental craftsmanship and systems-level thinking to photonics projects.
