Aaron D. Franklin is fascinated by light, both physically and spiritually. Is the physical light we see and use actually related to the spiritual light of the gospel, such as the Light of Christ? Can we apply what we know scientifically about light to the doctrine of light in the gospel? In his book, The Spiritual Physics of Light, Aaron explores these questions in a way that is accessible to any interested reader, regardless of their scientific background (or lack thereof). In addition to his foray with writing books about light, Aaron is a professor of electrical and computer engineering and chemistry at Duke University. A native of Phoenix, Arizona, he earned a bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University and a doctorate from Purdue University, both in electrical engineering. Prior to becoming a professor, Franklin worked at IBM as a research scientist studying nanotechnology. He and his wife, Lianne Walters Franklin, are the parents of three children and reside in Cary, North Carolina.
