76 OSA Members Elected as Newest Class of Fellows
The Optical Society (OSA)
Board of Directors is pleased to announce that 76 OSA Members have been
elected as the newest class of OSA Fellow Members. Individual OSA
Members were elected for their significant contributions to the
advancement of optics and photonics, many of whom will be honored at OSA
conferences throughout 2015. The society appreciates the efforts of the
nominators and of the members of the Fellow Members Committee, who
reviewed all of the submissions. A listing of all 76 new fellow members
appears below.
OSA Fellows are selected based on their overall impact on optics, as
gauged through factors such as specific scientific, engineering, and
technological contributions; a record of significant publications or
patents related to optics; technical leadership in the field; and
service to OSA and the global optics community. Additionally, a new
category recognizing business leadership was added in 2014. Drawing from
nominations from current fellows, the OSA Fellow Members Committee
recommends candidates to the OSA Board of Directors. This process is
highly competitive, as no more than 10 percent of the OSA Membership may
be Fellows. More than 50 percent of this year's fellow members reside
outside of the United States.
"This year's class of OSA Fellows has offered prodigious service to OSA
and the global optics community," said OSA President Philip Bucksbaum.
"The Optical Society is honored to offer recognition for their
outstanding contributions and leadership in the optics and photonics
profession."
