Dr. Aggarwal has been selected to receive the 2011 David Richardson Medal from the Optical Society of America (OSA) Dr. Aggarwal has recently been appointed as a Research Professor in the Department of Physics and Optical Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. At UNC Charlotte his efforts will be focused on the development of novel optical wave-guide and fiber devices for passive and active mid-IR applications. Dr. Aggarwal recently retired as Head of the Optical Materials and Devices Branch at NRL after 25 years of government service. Previously he worked at several companies including Corning and Lasertron Inc. He was a senior scientist at Corning responsible for glass and fiber research and development and did some of the pioneering work in the beginning days of fiber-optics development in the 1970’s. At Lasertron he worked as a Vice President responsible for development and engineering operations of semiconductor Lasers and corresponding Electronic Devices. Dr. Aggarwal received his Master’s and Ph.D. degrees from Catholic University of America. Dr. Aggarwal together with his team at Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) pioneered the development, applications and commercialization of infrared (IR) transmitting optical materials; (i) low loss IR transmitting glass optical fibers and (ii) rugged transparent ceramic spinel windows. He directed the research programs to solve the various technical and engineering issues and successfully transitioned the enabling technologies, along with 17 patents, to the industrial sector. These materials are now commercially available and are improving the performance of existing applications as well as enabling new applications which were not previously possible.

Dr. Khaled Habib holds a Ph.D in Chem. and Mats. Engr. from the Optical Science and Technological Center of University of Iowa, Iowa, USA, 1988. He was a Post-doctoral Fellow at the Chem. Engr. Dept., and Mat. sci. Dept., of the Technical University of Aachen, Aachen, Germany, 1991-1992. He specializes in “Quantum Electrochemistry” and more specifically “Opto-electrochemical instruments” in which solely light (as a quantum tool) can be used not only for submicroscopic imaging of surface/interface phenomena of solids in electrolytes, but also, it can be used in situ to measure electrochemical parameters corresponding to the surface/interface phenomena of the solids. Also, Materials Science, Metallic corrosion, and Characterization of nanometer structures of metallic glasses are of interest. Mr. Habib has in his credit more than 126 articles in international refereed journals in his area of specialization. He is a fellow of the SPIE (http://spie.org/x38.xml).

Dr. Weitao Li earned PhD degree from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA). He is a Professor in Department of Biomedical Engineering.
