Eager to share his knowledge with others, Dr. Reintjes has written “Nonlinear Optical Parametric” in 1984 and has contributed scientific papers to scientific journals. He holds nearly 20 patents for his scientific work and plans on continuing to work in his field. Among all his accomplishments, he considers the highlight of his career to be the time he spent working on a project for the U.S. Navy that revolved around mechanical diagnostics. Additionally, Dr. Reintjes feels grateful for the opportunities he has had to work with incredible groups of talented and excellent people in his lab and other institutions.
In recognition of his excellence in the field of physics and research, Dr. Reintjes is a fellow of the Optical Society of America, the Washington D.C. Academy of Science, and is a member of the American Physical Society.
