Stavros Demos, Optical Materials Group Leader, was elected a Fellow by the Board of Directors of The Optical Society (OSA). He was recognized “for pioneering and sustained contributions to understanding dynamic behaviors and improved performance in optical materials for high power lasers and developing multimodal imaging and characterization methods for medical and other applications.” This award recognizes distinguished scientific achievement in the OSA. Demos was also selected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2015 for his “outstanding contributions using unique optical techniques to understanding the relaxation dynamics of point defects and developing non-invasive biomedical photonics for rapid tissue assessment” for work he completed while at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
