Professor Foster received his B.S. in Physics from Stevens Institute of Technology in 1983. Following two years at the General Electric Research and Development Center where he worked on magnetic resonance imaging, he came to the University of Rochester and received the Ph.D. in Physics in 1990. He immediately joined the faculty of the University as an Assistant Professor of Radiology. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1994 and is currently Professor of Imaging Sciences (formerly Radiology), of Physics, of Optics, and of Biomedical Engineering. From 2001 - 2008, Professor Foster was an Associate Editor of the journal Photochemistry and Photobiology. He served as a member of the National Institutes of Health Radiation Therapeutics and Biology Study Section during 2004 - 2008 and from 2005 - 2012 was appointed to the Research Program Committee of the Canadian Institute of Photonic Innovation.
Professor Foster is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Fellow of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, and a Senior Member of the Optical Society of America. He currently serves on the Editorial Board of Lasers in Surgery and Medicine and is a frequent ad hoc grant reviewer for the National Institutes of Health and the Oak Ridge Associated Universities.
