RIT’s Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science will hold its annual Imaging Hall of Fame induction ceremony later this month to honor famous notables from the world of imaging science.
New inductees will be announced at 4 p.m. Dec. 14 in Carlson Auditorium. The keynote speaker will be Geoffrey Ozin, professor of chemistry at University of Toronto, who will present “Photonic Color: Lab-to-Market.” A reception will follow the keynote at 5 p.m. at Lovin’ Cup in Park Point.
Each year, the Imaging Hall of Fame announces new inductees, honoring them with a ceremony. A keynote presentation is given, and a small reception for students, faculty, staff and alumni follows. Last year the center inducted John Logie Baird, George Carruthers, Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz and Joseph Ferdinand Gabriel Lippman.
