"Lead by example and pay
it forward by sharing what we
know with the next generation."
inspiration comes to people in varied
ways. For George, it came by way of
wanting to prevent athletes from being
blinded by laser beams aimed at their
eyes by nasty spectators. This led to
further research in nanotechnology
and eventually the founding of
metamaterial Technologies.
six years later, mTi has become
a thriving optical solutions and
nano-composites company specializing
in metamaterials, nanofabrication, as
well as theoretical and computational
electromagnetics. Today, mTi has three
wholly owned subsidiaries. Lamda
Guard inc. develops advanced filters
to block out selected parts of the light
spectrum, protecting the eyes
from lasers or other sources of
hazardous light. Lamda solar inc.
products increase the efficiency of
solar panel cells by absorbing more
light. Lamda Lux inc. technology
increases the delivered lumens and
reduces the cost of thermal
management of LED lighting.
