David Brady designs computational optical imagers and spectrometers. Examples include optical projection tomography, coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging, compressive holography, multiscale cameras and multidimensional coherence tomography. He is the author of Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy (Wiley-OSA 2009).

As an ECE Professor at Duke University, Brady leads the Duke Imaging and Spectroscopy Program. He also works with several companies, including spinoffs from his lab such as Centice Corporation, which manufactures coded aperture spectrometers, Distant Focus Corporation, which builds computational camera arrays and Aqueti, which maufactures multi aperture imaging systems.

Brady graduated from Macalester College in physics and math and earned M.S. and Ph. D. degrees from Caltech in Applied Physics. He was on the faculty of the University of Illinois from 1990 until moving to Duke in 2001.

Dr. Brady is Fellow of OSA, SPIE and IEEE
