Clemson University just announced that a prestigious honor has been given to a COMSET member. The Russian Academy of Sciences has elected Roger Stolen, a distinguished visiting professor in materials science and engineering at Clemson University, as a foreign member.
Roger Stolen is a pioneer in the field of optics, the science and technology of generating and harnessing light, and is a Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies (COMSET) faculty member. He studies new materials that interact with light in ways that have critical commercial application in the fields of telecommunications, defense, sensing and displays.
“This is a very significant honor,” said Chris Przirembel, vice president for research and economic development at Clemson. “This membership gives Roger Stolen, and therefore the Clemson optics community, the opportunity to collaborate with some of the most brilliant minds in the world in the field of optics.”
The Russian Academy of Sciences was established in 1724 and is recognized not only as the supreme scientific institution in Russia but as one of the most successful science academies in the world.
At The Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies (COMSET), our goal is to be the recognized global leader for innovation and education in the science and technology of optical materials. We pursue this mission by conducting research; teaching at the 2-year, 4-year, and advanced college degree levels; performing contract services within the scientific and business communities; and transferring and expanding our technologies to new venture firms, other educational institutions, and the regional, national, and international community.
Cutting-edge research is at the heart of COMSET's success. We actively pursue sponsored research in the areas of organic and inorganic optical materials.
Our research focuses on optical polymers, glasses, and crystals, with a range of programs as diverse and exciting as the expertise of our world-class faculty. COMSET personnel currently hold 10 patents, 7 of which are commercially licensed, and have applied for 20 more. For a detailed description of our current research projects, click here.

COMSET practices a multi-disciplinary approach to the research and application of optical fibers and photonics technologies, and our faculty includes some of the finest minds in fields as diverse as organic, inorganic, textile, and analytical chemistry; materials science; and mechanical, electrical, and ceramics engineering. In addition to impressive academic credentials, many of our faculty members also have worked for industry in the public or private sectors, and all are committed to our partnership and mentorship approach.
Within COMSET, numerous laboratories and groups provide opportunities for simultaneous work on a number of breakthrough research projects. COMSET faculty collaborate freely, and the innovative spark this atmosphere ignites is reflected in the large number of publications, sponsored projects, and service initiatives in which they have participated, as well as the honors and awards they have received.
COMSET is a centerpiece program at Clemson University, with veritably unprecedented access to resources, equipment, and opportunities in the field of optical fiber and related photonic technologies. Our faculty is the foundation of this program's success, producing breakthrough research while also maintaining a high standard of teaching and service.
