The board of Directors of Optica (formerly OSA), Advancing Optics and Photonics Worldwide, recently elected 109 members from 24 countries to the Society’s 2023 Fellow Class. Optica Fellows are selected based on several factors, including outstanding contributions to business, education, research, engineering, and service to the Optica and the scientific community broadly. 

Prof. Kai-Mei Fu, an IMOD faculty member from the University of Washington and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been selected as a member of the 109 strong 2023 class of Optica Fellows. Kai-Mei’s selection was based on her advances in the characterization, synthesis, control and device integration of optically-active quantum point defects in crystals. 

Congratulations Kai-Mei!
