The Optical Society Announces 2019 Fellows Class

WASHINGTON – The Optical Society (OSA) Board of Directors has elected 98 members to the Society’s 2019 Fellows Class. Principal factors for election to OSA Fellow include candidates’ achievements in business leadership, education, research, engineering and service. A majority of 2019 Fellows reside outside of the USA.

“Being named an OSA Fellow is an honor accorded to those of rare distinction in their field, and carries the responsibility of service to and leadership of the optics and photonics communities” said OSA President Ian Walmsley. “I congratulate the 2019 class on their achievements.”

OSA Fellows are members who have served with distinction in the advancement of optics and photonics. The OSA Fellow Members Committee, led by Ingmar Hartl of DESY, Germany, reviewed nominations submitted by current OSA Fellows and recommended 2019 candidates to the Awards Council and OSA Board of Directors. No more than 10 percent of the total OSA membership may be Fellows at any given time, making each year’s honorees a highly selective group.

“The OSA Fellow Members Committee has been successful at expanding the level and type of achievements that factor into qualifying for this distinction,” said CEO Elizabeth Rogan. “The 2019 Fellows Class reflect a diverse and inclusive representation of OSA’s growing membership.

The new Fellows will be honored at OSA conferences and meetings throughout 2019.
