Early Life and Education

Hutchin was born in Lafayette, IN, to Donald Edward Hudgin, Co-Inventor of the hydrophilic polyurethane polymers and Additiv Und Additivhaltige Polymerenmasse; and Charlotte Frances Hudgin.

He completed his Bachelor’s degree in Physics from Princeton University in 1967 and his Post Doc at the University of New York, Buffalo. Later, Hutchin received his Master's and Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University in 1970. He also received an MBA from Pepperdine University in 2001.

Career

Hutchin served at Itek (Imaging Technology), a top-secret company that excelled in imaging and reconnaissance, where he helped create ADAPTIVE-optics technology.

In 1997, Hutchin founded Optical Physics Company[1][2][3] to provide competencies in the design and manufacture of advanced optical systems for tracking, imaging, filtering, and beam control to major aerospace primes such as NASA, TRW, and Boeing. It specializes in building high-precision optics, including mechanical assembly, electronics, optics, computer interfacing, signal acquisition, and signal processing.[4]

Hutchin has served different roles for SBIR Awards. From 2011 to 2012, he was the Principal Investigator for the Adaptive Optics System for Ultra-short Pulse Lasers (USPL) (2011 - 2012),[5] Chief Scientist for the Branchpoint Enabled High Energy Laser System Phase I (2012),[6] and Principal Investigator for Interferometric Star Tracker, Phase II (May 2015 - January 2018).[7]

Hutchin has 20+ Patented inventions. He is the inventor of High-speed Deformable Mirrors, Interferometric Star Tracking,[8] High Energy Laser Weapon Systems, GPS-Denied Navigation, and Speckle-Based Imaging.[9] He is a member of the Optical Society Association (OSA).

Hutchin involves himself in research in quantum, mathematical, atomic, molecular, and optical physics.[10] One of Hutchin’s recently published papers discusses Why the Big Bang Theory Is invalid. In 2021, one of his published papers solved NASA’s problem about the conservation of energy in passes of Earth.
