OSA Elevates 66 to Fellow Members

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The board of directors of the Optical Society (OSA) announced that 66 OSA members were selected as the newest class of OSA fellows. The newly appointed fellows will be recognized individually at meetings throughout 2012.

Fellows are selected on a variety of criteria, such as record of significant publications or patents related to optics, achievements in optics, management ability, and service to OSA or the global optics community. Any regular OSA member who has contributed to the advancement of optics and photonics is eligible for election. Drawing from nominations from current fellows, OSA’s Fellows Members Committee recommends candidates to the board of directors. No more than 10 percent of the total OSA membership can be named fellows.

This year’s class represents 14 countries on four continents, with more than 42 percent residing outside of the US.
