$A laser pointer at 2 billion fps makes the speed of light look... kinda weird Ive upgraded! It took almost a year, but today I finally get to show off a TWO billion frame per second camera! I really want to record refraction, interference, and other awesome stuff with this camera, but today Im looking into a really strange quirk of the speed of light. In a way, understanding this weird phenomenon is kind of a prerequisite for everything else I want to do with this camera - I hope you find it as interesting as I have! MANY more technical details for the curious: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYHMTkuzdT3Zwk3UialNtxXrpkmaC_ZI bonus points to hakonjdjohnsen for advice on colormaps, R520 for a typo, and @dl33 for the top suggestion in last videos comments!

$Five years in 49 minutes Ive had piles and piles of questions about the research that I did in gradschool, so here it is! Be careful what you wish for... About a year ago I defended my dissertation from UCSB in Materials, exploring, among other things, growth of a semiconductor called lead selenide, a narrow-gap material with a bright (ba-dum-tss) future in the realm of infrared optoelectronics. I hope you enjoy!
