Research Career & EducationFink has a B.S. (Vordiplom, 1990) and M.S. (Diplom 1993) degrees in Physics and Physical Chemistry from the University of Göttingen, Germany, and a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Tübingen, Germany (1997). He was a Senior Researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (2000 - 2009). He was also a Visiting Associate in Physics at the California Institute of Technology (2001 - 2016), where he founded Caltech's Visual and Autonomous Exploration Systems Research Laboratory.[6] He also held concurrent appointments as Voluntary Research Associate Professor of both Ophthalmology and Neurological Surgery at the University of Southern California (2005 - 2014). Active Research AreasFink is a specialist in the areas of autonomous systems, biomedical engineering for healthcare, human/brain-machine interfaces, and smart service systems. In particular, his research focuses on autonomous robotic systems for hazardous environments, C4ISR architectures (Tier-Scalable Reconnaissance), vision prostheses for the blind, smart mobile and tele-ophthalmic platforms, ophthalmic instruments and tests, self-adapting wearable sensors, cognitive/reasoning systems, and computer-optimized design. Fink was a Principal Investigator of the United States Department of Energy's (USDOE's) "Artificial Retina" project[7] (2004–2011), a multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary CRADA-based effort to develop an implantable microelectronic retinal device that restores useful vision to people blinded by retinal diseases (Retinitis pigmentosa and Macular degeneration). Furthermore, Fink is Caltech's founding Co-Investigator of the NSF-funded Center for Biomimetic Microelectronic Systems (2003-2010), awarded in 2003 to University of Southern California, Caltech, and UC Santa Cruz. His center enacted the only FDA-approved visual prosthesis to date (Argus retinal prosthesis or ARGUS II).[8] Honors & Awards
PatentsFink has been awarded 19 US and international patents to date in the areas of autonomous systems, biomedical devices, neural stimulation, MEMS fabrication, data fusion and analysis, and multi-dimensional optimization.[13] References1. ^https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ColbfDcAAAAJ&hl=en {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Fink, Wolfgang}}2. ^https://directory.arizona.edu/phonebook?cn=wolfgang+fink&type=staff&lastname=&firstname=&email=&phone=&attribute_7= 3. ^http://www.ece.arizona.edu/wolfgang-fink 4. ^http://bme.engr.arizona.edu/wolfgang-fink 5. ^http://ame.arizona.edu/wolfgang-fink 6. ^http://autonomy.caltech.edu/main.html 7. ^http://artificialretina.energy.gov/about.shtml 8. ^https://www.energy.gov/articles/fda-approves-first-bionic-eye-blind 9. ^https://news.engineering.arizona.edu/news/key-healthy-humans-safe-spacecraft-and-prospering-plants 10. ^https://bme.engineering.arizona.edu/news-events/wolfgang-fink-named-acabi-fellow-biomedical-research-and-advancements 11. ^http://news.engr.arizona.edu/news/wolfgang-fink-named-da-vinci-fellow-2015 12. ^http://aimbe.org/college-of-fellows/cof-1416/ 13. ^http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=0&f=S&l=50&TERM1=fink%2C+wolfgang&FIELD1=&co1=AND&TERM2=&FIELD2=&d=PTXT 6 : University of Arizona faculty|Living people|California Institute of Technology faculty|German physicists|Theoretical physicists|Year of birth missing (living people) |
