2 Professors Become SPIE Fellows
SPIE, an international society that brings academics and business professionals together to advance light-based science and technology, has elected Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Jeremy Munday and Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Marina Leite as fellows.
To become a SPIE fellow recognizes their outstanding scientific and technical achievements in optics, photonics and imaging. It also celebrates their substantial service to these research communities and to the international society itself.
Munday studies novel photonic, plasmonic and quantum materials, seeking breakthroughs in energy generation and extraction technologies. Leite advances knowledge around halide perovskites, paving the way to stable solar cells, and develops new optical materials to discover novel optical properties.
They join 45 others in becoming fellows in 2025, with peer inductees representing high-profile leaders in academia, industry and government.
“It’s a pleasure to honor their technical achievements, their commitment to SPIE as well as to the wider optics and photonics community,” said Peter E. Andersen, chair of the SPIE Fellows Committee, of this year’s cohort. “I join my colleagues in the SPIE Fellows Committee in recognizing these new SPIE Fellow Members, their high-level achievements across optics and photonics, and their impactful contributions to SPIE.”
