Prof. Alan Pak Tao LAU, one of the Management Committee Member in Photonics Research Institute (PRI), has been elected a Fellow of Optica for 2024 for his substantial contributions on developing digital signal processing techniques for optical communication systems.
The Board of Directors of Optica (formerly OSA), Advancing Optics and Photonics Worldwide, recently elected 129 members from 26 countries to the Society’s 2024 Fellow Class. Optica Fellows are selected based on several factors, including outstanding contributions to research, business, education, engineering and service to Optica and our community.
Fellows are Optica members who have served with distinction in the advancement of optics and photonics. The Fellow Members Committee reviewed 216 nominations submitted by current Fellows. As Fellows can account for no more than 10 percent of the total membership, the election process is highly competitive. Candidates are recommended by the Fellow Members Committee and approved by the Awards Council and Board of Directors.
