New SPIE Senior Members

Fifty-two distinguished SPIE members have been elevated to the rank of SPIE Senior Member for 2014.

SPIE Senior Members are honored for their professional experience, their active involvement with the optics community and SPIE, and/or significant performance that sets them apart from their peers.

A minimum of five years of cumulative SPIE membership (not as a student member) is required for nomination as a Senior Member. Senior Members must also have at least 10 years of professional experience, which may include credit for up to six years while earning an academic degree.

SPIE President H. Philip Stahl, senior optical physicist at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, congratulated the new Senior Members and thanked SPIE Fellow Jacobus (Jim) Oschmann and SPIE Senior Member Eva Campo for chairing the committees that make recommendations to the SPIE Board of Directors on Senior Member applicants.

Campo said committee members “noted increasingly high- accomplished nominees, following the trend observed in previous years. In fact, their accomplishments, while revolving around scientific and technological advancement, often feature strong education and service. This is the socially concerned scientific profile that SPIE values so highly.”

The SPIE Senior Member recognition program began in 2009 as a way to recognize active members earlier in their careers and from a broader constituency.

The next deadline for nominating a candidate for SPIE Senior Member is 15 April 2015.
