Wolfgang Fink is a German theoretical physicist.[1] He is currently an Associate Professor and the inaugural Maria & Edward Keonjian Endowed Chair of Microelectronics at the University of Arizona.[2] Fink has joint appointments in the Departments of Electrical & Computer Engineering,[3] Biomedical Engineering,[4] Systems & Industrial Engineering, Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering,[5] and Ophthalmology & Vision Science at the University of Arizona.

Research Career & Education

Fink 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 Areas

Fink 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

  • Fellow of the Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) Society (inducted in 2018).[9]
  • ACABI Fellow 2017 recognizing "faculty that are strongly active in innovation related to ACABI", the Arizona Center for Accelerated BioMedical Innovation at the University of Arizona.[10]
  • da Vinci Fellow 2015 for "innovative, productive and highly recognized engineering research" at the University of Arizona.[11]
  • Senior Member IEEE
  • College of Fellows of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) (inducted in 2012)[12]

Patents

Fink 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]
