Fifty-Eight OSA Members Elevated to Rank of Fellow
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 – The Optical Society of America (OSA) Board of Directors is pleased to announce that they have elevated 58 members to the rank of fellow. These members, who are new OSA fellows as of Jan. 1, 2007, will be recognized individually at meetings throughout 2007. A listing of all 58 fellows appears below.
Any regular OSA member who has served with distinction in the advancement of optics is eligible for transfer to the class of fellow. OSA’s Fellows & Honorary Members Committee recommends candidates to the Board of Directors, based on nominations from current fellow members. The number of fellows is limited by the bylaws to 10 percent of the total membership.
“The distinction of fellow at OSA is reserved for those members of the optics and photonics community who are at the top of the profession,” said Elizabeth Rogan, OSA’s executive director. “All 58 new fellows fit this distinction and have offered valuable insights and contributions to the ongoing understanding of optical science. OSA congratulates them on their accomplishments.”
This year’s fellows hail from around the globe, 23 of whom are affiliated with institutions outside the United States. Fellows are selected on a variety of criteria such as record of publications related to optics, service to OSA, achievements in optics and management ability.
Following is an alphabetical listing of OSA’s 2007 fellows. Specific information on each fellow’s accomplishments can be found at
