Greg Sun honored for seminal work in optoelectronics, Si photonics, and plasmonics
Chair and Professor of Engineering Greg Sun is a new fellow of The Optical Society (OSA). Sun is being honored for his technical innovation and seminal work in optoelectronics, Si photonics, and plasmonics, a rapidly developing field at the boundary of physical optics and condensed matter physics.
Fellowship membership is reserved for members who have served with distinction in the advancement of optics, the study of sight and the behavior of light, and photonics, the science of light generation.
“While it is a great honor to be elected an OSA fellow, I am particularly proud that I was able to achieve this recognition through my work at UMass Boston, a public research university with a teaching soul,” Sun said.
Of this year’s 200 nominees, only 94 were selected.
“Being named an OSA fellow is a singular honor and indicates a history of achievement in optics and photonics, and a reputation for service to OSA and our field,” said OSA President Ursula Gibson.
The new fellows will be honored at OSA conferences and meetings throughout 2020.
Founded in 1916, OSA is the leading professional association in optics and photonics, home to accomplished science, engineering, and business leaders from all over the world. Through world-renowned publications, meetings, and membership programs, OSA provides quality information and inspiring interactions that power achievements in the science of light.
