SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, has welcomed 92 new Senior Members from 19 countries. SPIE Senior Members are Society Members of distinction who are recognized for their professional experience and technical accomplishments, their active involvement with the optics community and with SPIE, and for significant performance that sets them apart from their peers.

The newly recognized Senior Members — drawn from across academia, industry, and government — work in a variety of optics-and-photonics-focused areas that include light-matter interactions; biomedical imaging, diagnostics, and monitoring; EUV imaging and architecture; remote sensing; optoelectronics; precision agriculture; optical design and engineering; photonic crystals; optofluidics; nanophotonics, nano-optics, and photonic materials; smart sensing; electromagnetics; entrepreneurship; astrophysics; and opto-mechanical system analysis and design.

 

 

New SPIE Senior Members: Fenglin Peng, Kayn Forbes, and Vicky Philipsen


With the 2025 cohort of SPIE Senior Members, the Society welcomes a strong representation of accomplished constituents from across the wider optics and photonics community.
This year’s new inductees include Jeff Hecht, an optics historian and science-technology writer whose areas of expertise include lasers, fiber optics, and electronics; Meta’s Fenglin Peng, recognized for advancements in virtual reality and novel display technology; Vicky Philipsen of imec, a key contributor to advanced lithography and imaging, and an active participant in the SPIE microlithography community; and the University of East Anglia’s Kayn Forbes, recognized for his contributions to structured-light interactions.

Others include Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s Diana Chen, whose work focuses on high-power laser technology, adaptive optics, and bio-imaging optical systems; Michael Brodsky, of the US Army Research Laboratory, with a particular focus on quantum internet; Ulrike Fuchs, of asphericon GmbH, whose work advances innovations in aspheric and freeform surfaces; and Bruce Bigelow, of the Giant Magellan Telescope Organization, with achievements in opto-mechanical design as well as his contributions to the optics community as an external reviewer and an SPIE proceedings author.

“I’m delighted to welcome our new Senior Members to the Society,” said 2025 Senior Member Committee Chair and Clemson University Professor and Special Assistant to the Dean Oliver J. Myers.

“These engineers and researchers, systems developers, and science communicators, are key to our optics and photonics community. They contribute their technical expertise, as well as offering professional and personal support to their colleagues in the wider community. As the Senior Member Committee Chair, I’m excited by the wealth of experience this group brings to our community, across industry, academia, and government.”
