John E . Greivenkamp received his Ph . D . from the Optical Sciences Center in 1980 . After a decade as a research scientist with Eastman Kodak Co ., he returned to the University of Arizona as a professor of optical sciences . He is renowned for an innovative teaching style that captivates and challenges students . His use of in-class demonstrations began the collection of antique telescopes and optical instruments that grew to become the Museum of Optics at the Wyant College of Optical Sciences .
A generation of optical engineers owes its understanding of geometrical optics to John . His dedication to teaching and the preservation of the historical legacy of optics has contributed to the excellence of the Wyant College of Optical Sciences .
The scholarship was instituted by David Steed , a friend of John ’ s who shares his enthusiasm for education and antique optics . The award supports undergraduate students with the aim of instilling an appreciation of how the historical foundation of optics leads to future innovations in optical instruments .
