  • Michal Lipson Named 2021 John Tyndall Award Recipient
    Michal Lipson Named 2021 John Tyndall Award Recipient WASHINGTON – The Optical Society (OSA) and the IEEE Photonics Society have named Michal Lipson, Eugene Higgins Professor of Electrical Engineering and Professor of Applied Physics at Columbia University, USA the 2021 John Tyndall Award recipient. Lipson, the first woman to receive the award since it was established in 1987, is recognized for “fundamental and technological advances in integrated photonic devices." “A trailblazer in the field, Michal Lipson’s groundbreaking research led to the development of the first gigahertz silicon modulators, demonstrating that silicon photonics could produce active devices,” said 2020 OSA President Stephen Fantone. “The Tyndall Award is a well- deserved testament to her visionary work in nanophotonics.” "Michal Lipson is a leader, a pioneer and a giant in the field of nanophotonics for her contributions to the physics and applications of light confining photonics structures”, added IEEE Photonics Society President Carmen Menoni. “The IEEE Photonics Society is delighted with her recognition by the Tyndall Award." The award, one of the top honors in the fiber optics community, is named for John Tyndall, a 19th century scientist who was the first to demonstrate the phenomenon of total internal reflection. It recognizes an individual who has made pioneering, highly significant, or continuing technical or leadership contributions to fiber optic technology. The Tyndall Award will be presented to Lipson at OFC 2021 (Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition), the world’s leading conference and exhibition for optical communications and networking professionals, 6 to 10 June 2021 in San Francisco, California, USA. Corning, Incorporated sponsors the award, which consists of a specially commissioned glass sculpture that represents the concept of total internal reflection, a scroll and an honorarium, and it is jointly presented by The Optical Society and the IEEE Photonics Society.

  • Nicolaas Bloembergen (1920–2017)∗ Physicist, Father of Nonlinear Optics
    ARTICLE-IN-A-BOX Nicolaas Bloembergen (1920–2017)∗ Physicist, Father of Nonlinear Optics The father of nonlinear optics (NLO), Prof. Nicolaas Bloembergen, affectionately nicknamed ‘Nico’ by his students and associates, was an exceptional physicist with equal expertise in experimental and theoretical physics. The 1981 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to him jointly with Arthur Schawlow for the development of laser spectroscopy and to Kai Siegbahn for developing high-resolution electron spectroscopy. At that time, he was the Gerhard Gade University Professor at Harvard University. Bloembergen was born in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, on March 11, 1920, as the second child amongst six in an affluent family. His father, a chemical engineer and an executive encouraged his passion for science at a young age. He joined the Utrecht University of the Netherlands to study physics. He managed to receive his Master’s degree just before the Nazis closed the university. After spending the rest of the wartime in hiding, Bloembergen left the war-ridden Netherlands in 1945 to pursue graduate studies at Harvard University with Professor Purcell. Just five weeks before the arrival of Bloembergen, Purcell had co-discovered nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, based on the concept that atomic nuclei can absorb electro- magnetic radiation in the radio-frequency region in the presence of a magnetic field. During his graduate studies, Bloembergen developed the first NMR machine and outlined the physics of nuclear magnetic relaxation, which essentially dealt with how NMR could be used to sense the motions of water molecules, for example, through the radio-frequency response of its pro- tons.

  • Nanotechnology for a Sustainable Future an International Workshop
    WATERLOO INSTITUTE FOR NANOTECHNOLOGY PRESENTS Nanotechnology for a Sustainable Future An International Workshop November 19 - 20, 2020 Online via WebEx Professor Sushanta Mitra Executive Director Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology Welcome everyone to the International Workshop on Nanotechnology for a Sustainable Future! In this unique event, WIN’s first fully virtual workshop, we are happy to host research leaders from five countries spanning four continents – Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, USA and Canada – who will present latest findings and discuss current affairs of nanotechnology research and applications in energy, healthcare, ICT and also how nanotechnology directly relates to society, through policy and science diplomacy, and resource management within a circular economy. In 2012, the United Nations set out to produce a set of universal goals to meet urgent environmental, political and economic challenges facing our world and created the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) to tackle the most persistent and critical challenges our society faces today. All 17 of these goals are interconnecting – where success in one can bring about success in others. At WIN, we are one of the global leaders to formally map our research themes to these SDGs, working to find how nanotechnology can enable and deliver solutions to real-world problems. WIN researchers and partners are directly addressing SDGs for good health (#3), clean water (#6), energy and environment (#7, 13, 14 & 15), innovation & infrastructure (#11), and responsible consumption and production (#12). Successes here lead to reduced poverty and hunger (#1 & 2), improved equality, education and economic growth (#4, 5, 8 & 10) which in turn will lead to the ultimate, universal goal – peace, justice and strong institutions (#16).
