Halas named SPIE fellow
 Naomi Halas, the Stanley C. Moore Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and director of the Laboratory for Nanophotonics, has been named a fellow of SPIE– The International Society for Optical Engineering.
The society advances an interdisciplinary approach to the science and application of light, including optics, photonics and imaging. Halas is among the 56 members newly inducted as fellows, bringing the total just over 480 since the Society’s inception in 1955.
The SPIE cited Halas specifically for her achievements in nanophotonics and plasmonics. In recent years her research has focused on the fabrication and properties of nanoparticles known as metallic nanoshells, which possess tunable optical resonances that span the infrared spectral region. Halas has studied their properties and pursued applications of nanoshells in biomedicine and chemical sensing.
Halas’ work has been presented at SPIE conferences for several years. She has been active in promoting nanophotonics and the subfield of “plasmonics” internationally and within SPIE. She previously received Fellow status in three other professional societies: the American Physical Society, the Optical Society of America, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
