"So, what is the Edgerton Center, and who was Doc Edgerton anyway?"
The Edgerton Center is named after ‘Doc’ Edgerton, who arrived at MIT for graduate study in Electrical Engineering in 1926. His perfection of short duration high intensity light sources enabled him to take astounding photos of everyday things. As the father of modern high speed photography, his photos became known around the world. This talk will tell his MIT story and will show lots of great photos from his work.
Presented by Professor J. Kim Vandiver, Director of the Edgerton Center (and former TA to Doc Edgerton)
