Beginning in the early 1970’s, Nick utilized his theoretical materials expertise in the development of Corning’s first generation photochromic products. His initial work in this area helped establish the foundation for some of Corning’s highly profitable product lines including Photogray™ photochromic glass, Polarcor™ glass polarizers and Serengeti™ hydrogen-reduced photochromics. In addition to his success within the company, Nick also has a passion for sharing his knowledge. He was a mathematics professor at Elmira College for nearly twenty years and is one of the most highly published scientists in Corning’s history with 145 granted U.S. patents, more than 200 restricted internal technical reports, and contributions to more than 400 external articles.
