On November 8, Optica (formerly OSA), Advancing Optics and Photonics Worldwide, announced the list of its 2023 Fellows.
A total of 109 members from 24 countries were selected to the society’s 2023 Fellow Class.
Guixin LI, Professor of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), was elected as one of the 2023 Optica Fellows for his outstanding contributions to the field of nonlinear photonic metasurfaces, particularly for proposing the concept of nonlinear geometric phase and its applications.
Prof. Guixin LI’s primary research covers the fields of optical metasurfaces, nonlinear optics, and geometric phase. He was honored with the 2019 Outstanding Young Scholar Award from the Qiu Shi Science and Technologies Foundation.
He has published more than 100 research papers in journals such as Nature Physics, Nature Photonics, Nature Reviews Materials, Nature Materials, Nature Nanotechnology, and PNAS.
Prof. LI has served as the session chairman of various conferences, including METANANO, META, and PIERS, and the Executive member of the Metamaterial Branch of the Chinese Materials Research Society. He is also a committee member of the nonlinear optics session of the Advanced Photonics Congress Conference (Optica), a guest editor of Photonics Research, and a member of the editorial board of Advanced Photonics Nexus.
Optica aims to promote the development, application, and preservation of optics and photonics knowledge, and to disseminate this knowledge to the world.
Founded in 1916, it is the leading organization for scientists, engineers, business professionals, students, and others interested in the science of light.
Optica fuels the development of science and technology and accelerates the application and transformation of knowledge through renowned publications, meetings, online resources, and in-person activities.
Since 1959, more than 2,800 members worldwide have been elected as fellows.
