Prof. Jain Appointed Fellow of American Physical Society

ECE Professor Ravinder Jain has been appointed as a Fellow in the American Physical Society. The honor, which is given only to a small portion of the society's members, recognizes Jain's outstanding contributions to the field of physics. The citation of the fellowship reads:

"For pioneering contributions in several areas of applied physics, including discovery of plasmon-mediated light-emission from tunnel junctions, seminal studies of nonlinear optics in semiconductors and optical fibers, and the invention of several important ultrashort pulse lasers and fiber lasers."

Jain is also a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA), Institute of Electical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE-LEOS), and the Society for Photo Instrumentation and Engineering (SPIE). He received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley and has been a UNM faculty member since 1992. He also holds a professorship with UNM's Physics Department.

He currently conducts research on nonlinear optics in semiconductor quantum dots and advanced optical fibers, and on nonlinear optical fiber devices and fiber lasers, at UNM's Center for High Technology Materials. He has generated several noteworthy publications and patents assigned to UNM in these areas.

Congratulations, Ravi!
