Student Profiles
Kimani C. Toussaint, Jr. graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1996 with a Bachelors of Arts degree in physics. Inspired to pursue graduate studies in photonics -- the study and manipulation of light -- he enrolled in LEAP at Boston University, where he earned an MS degree in electrical engineering. Kimani decided to continue his graduate education as was accepted into the doctoral program in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

In September 2000, Kimani received one of the very first Gates Millennium Scholars Fellowship awards. This award, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is given to minority students who have demonstrated academic excellence and community service. Kimani is now pursuing postdoctoral research at the University of Chicago in the area of super-resolution, nonlinear, optical microscopy.
