MAGAZINE NAMES UCF'S PETER DELFYETT OUTSTANDING BLACK PROFESSIONAL IN SCIENCE

Peter Delfyett, a professor of optics, physics and electrical and computer engineering at UCF, has been named an outstanding black professional in science by Science Spectrum magazine.

In addition to Delfyett, who specializes in laser and fiberoptics research, the “Science Spectrum Trailblazers” included the director of the National Institutes of Health, the president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a Cornell University dean and New York's state health commissioner.

Delfyett earned a similar honor last year from Science Spectrum. He and the other winners will be honored at a luncheon Sept. 16 at the Minorities in Research Science Conference in Baltimore.
