Bio

Charlie Rackson is an optics post doctoral researcher, focused on advancing the fundamentals of the new field of Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (VAM). Charlie developed a volumetric printer, resin systems, tomographic reconstruction algorithms, and new modes of VAM printing. In collaboration with researchers at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, he has published on both theoretical and experimental aspects of VAM, resulting in multiple patents. Charlie received a BS in Physics, a BS in Mathematics with an applied specialization, and a BA in Humanities from Seattle University. He worked in industry as an optical engineer before joining 抖阴旅行射 Boulder and earning an MS from the ECEE Department.
