FLAAR employs a number of different people from varying backgrounds and different countries. We believe this mix is one factor that makes our institute effective as we monitor the development of digital imaging technology worldwide.

Dr Nicholas Hellmuth is the founder, President, and Director of FLAAR. A Harvard graduate, Nicholas has spent many decades working in Latin America. FLAAR still has its office in Guatemala and we do many of our studies here of how wide-format inkjet printers can provide better signage for museums and archaeological parks in Central America.

Other staff members include co-operative education students.  Due to the ties with Bowling Green State University, FLAAR hires several co-operative education students each semester. Most of these students come from BGSU's Visual Communication Technology program and through FLAAR they are able to work and train with equipment FLAAR has obtained for research. They get real world experience while remaining close to the familiar surroundings of BGSU campus and FLAAR is given a fresh new staff of innovative and creative minds to educate in the ways of the business world.
