At a meeting of the Optical Society of America, held last October in Tucson, Arizona, the society bestowed its Engineering Excellence Awards on the following individuals.

Paul R. Dumas, applications engineering manager at QED Technologies, in Rochester, New York, was acknowledged by the society for his “significant contributions to the development, automation, and commercialization of magnetorheological finishing.”

Alan H. Gnauck, distinguished member of technical staff at Lucent Technologies’ Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey, was praised by OSA for his “numerous achievements in the development of high-speed, ultrahigh-capacity lightwave systems including the first Terabit/s system demonstration.”

Mark E. Lowry, photonics group leader at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, was chosen by the society for his “leadership in the development of innovative photonic instrumentation and in the development of revolutionary network architectures including the use of tunable DWDM [dense wavelength division multiplexing] techniques in optical metro networking systems.”

L. Ramdas Ram-Mohan, professor of physics and of electrical and computer engineering at Worcester Polytechnical Institute, in Worcester, Massachusetts, was recognized by OSA for his “development of advanced algorithms to optimize design methods for mid-IR quantum well lasers, for advancing the paradigm of wave-function engineering, and for mentoring students in optoelectronics.”
