Edmund Optics strengthens presence in Europe

Edmund Optics has announced the addition of Dr. Boris Ecker, who, with the support of Edmund Optics’ global team of imaging experts, will directly service the growing imaging and machine vision application needs of customers in Europe.

Ecker, who will serve as Imaging Solutions Engineer, is fluent in German and English, and holds a Ph.D. in physics, obtained for his work on high-energy lasers and plasma physics at the University of Mainz, Germany and the “GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung” in Darmstadt, Germany.

At Edmund Optics, Ecker will provide support and expertise to customers and partners regarding technical questions as well as assist with the implementation of vision projects.
