Amol Choudhary is an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) Fellow in the School of Physics at the University of Sydney, where he is developing novel on-chip frequency combs and techniques to process them using integrated non-linear optics. He was previously an EPSRC Doctoral Prize fellow at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), University of Southampton in the UK where he worked on the power-scaling of mode-locked waveguide lasers and using graphene in pulsed laser systems. He received his PhD from the ORC, an Erasmus Mundus MSc in Photonics from the Gent University, Belgium; VUB, Belgium and the University of St. Andrews, UK and a Bachelor of Engineering from the Delhi College of Engineering, India. Amol has been an active member of the OSA since 2010. He is currently serving on the technical program committees of four OSA-sponsored conferences. He also volunteers in the OSA’s Young Professionals (YP) program and has reviewed many grant applications and is also an active reviewer for OSA journals. He and his colleagues regularly publish in OSA journals and present their work at OSA conferences. He is on the committee of the OSA Nonlinear Optics Technical group and has organized webinars and a technical event at CLEO 2018. He is the 2018 recipient of the OSA’s Ivan P.
