Emanuel Istrate serves as Acting Director of Academic Programs at Victoria College. He received his Ph.D. in Photonics from the University of Toronto in 2005. He teaches mostly in the area of social aspects of science work, such as a course in the Vic One Arthur Schawlow program in the Physical Sciences, which looks at communications and social interactions of scientists. He also teaches a course covering both the art and the science of holography, as well as a course on creativity in the sciences. In the past, he set up a number of courses and training programs in optics at all levels of the University. He also made contributions to lensless microscopy methods, entrepreneurship training programs and to collaborative projects with industry.
