Welcome to the World's Worst Tourist

James Davis Trolinger, Ph.D.
Business Address: MetroLaser Inc., 8 Chrysler, Irvine, CA. 92618, USA

 

Physics Narrative: Dr. Trolinger is an optical physicist who has devoted his entire career to the pioneering development and fielding of laser-based, state-of-the-art, optical diagnostic methods. During the past 30 years he cofounded two successful, high-technology, optical companies, Spectron Development Laboratories Inc., which was acquired by the Titan Corporation in 1986, and MetroLaser Inc., where he has worked since 1988.  He and his science teams pioneered many applications of lasers in particle and flow diagnostics and aero optics beginning with the first application of holographic particle image velocimetry (published in 1968) followed by over 100 publications of optical diagnostic methods.   He has given over 40 invited lectures to audiences in 16 countries.  He serves on the editorial advisory board for three professional journals.  Dr. Trolinger was the Principal Investigator for the space flight program “SHIVA” (Spaceflight Holography Investigation in a Virtual Apparatus). He was awarded the George W. Goddard award by SPIE and the Aerodynamics Measurement Technique award by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for outstanding contributions in aerodynamics and aero optics.  Dr. Trolinger received his Bachelors Degree in Engineering Physics from the University of Tennessee, his Master’s Degree in physics from The Louisiana State University and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Tennessee.


Art Narrative: Dr. Trolinger has drawn and painted since the age of four. His first formal training began at the age of seven under the tutelage of Miss Corrine Houston, a well known Tennessee master, and he began painting with oils at the age of eight. He studied art at the Golden West Community and Coastline Community Colleges in Costa Mesa, California and has studied under various California masters, including Timothy Clark. He is a board member of the Southern California Artist’s Association in Laguna Beach where he paints regularly. His extensive travels, made possible by his profession, have provided him the opportunity to paint in over 20 different countries. His primary mediums are oil and watercolor and his primary art interests are in plein air and figure painting.
