Christopher C. Wilcox, PhD

I specialize in many different areas of technology including mathematical modeling, optics, custom software, website, and mobile app development for Android and iOS.

I’m currently an electrical engineer with the US Air Force Research Laboratory working in the Laser Division. Prior to this, I worked at the US Naval Research Laboratory in the field of adaptive optics with a focus on the applications for astronomy.
