MassDevice Q&A: OmniGuide chairman Yoel Fink

June 1, 2010 by Christian Holland

MassDevice talks to OmniGuide's Yoel Fink and Yair Schindel about their company’s business development strategy.

MassDevice Q&A: OmniGuide's Yoel Fink and Yair Schindel

When Yoel Fink began his groundbreaking work with mirrors at MIT in the late 1990’s, he didn't know he would be creating a material that would be used to carry lasers into areas as hard to reach as the inner ear or brain. He was working on a problem that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the research and development arm of the U.S. military, wanted solved. For reasons still unknown to Fink, DARPA wanted large-area, low-cost surfaces more reflective than a mirror that could reflect light from all angles. Eventually, his work led to a PhD thesis and OmniGuide, the company where he is currently chairman. OmniGuide, which employs 120 workers, just last week celebrated its 10th year of business.
