Meet the Polyphotonics Team

George Fazekas

George is our CEO and President.  He brings 25 years of experience in marketing, consulting, and design of cooled, low-noise and low light imaging cameras. He was the co-founder of Finger Lakes Instrumentation (FLI).  As CEO/CFO of FLI, George designed the venerable “Dream Machine” camera. This one-of-a kind camera utilized the famous SITe TK1024 back illuminated sensor of the sort used in the Hubble Space Telescope.  While at FLI, he was also instrumental in the design of FLI’s unique stand-alone focuser and integrated camera shutter. 

George was a full professor for 34 years at a local community college where he taught courses involving embedded controllers, sensors, programming, camera design, and digital image signal processing. 

George recently retired from academia in order to dedicate himself full-time to the growth of Polyphotonics. His focus will primarily be consulting and developing products for the biotech, environmental, and optical industries.
