Abstract

Few in history have had as great an impact on their field of study than James C. Wyant. This paper provides an historical overview of Wyant’s contributions to the field of optical metrology and how they have impacted today’s technology. Beyond his role as an innovator, inventor, leader, enterpreneur and philanthropist he will perhaps be best known for his teaching and the legacy of the multitudes of students he taught over his career.
