Provost Peter Lennie said Fantone, who was educated at MIT and The Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester, "has devoted his career to applying the modern understanding of light in ways that have brought innovative technology to the American public."

Fantone's contributions to the optics industry include developing proprietary products and technologies that have resulted in more than 65 patents for Optikos and its clients.
