WNCG Prof. Alan Bovik received the 2017 Edwin H. Land Medal from The Optical Society (OSA) for shaping the direction and advancement of modern perceptual picture quality theory, and for partnering with industry towards transforming his ideas into global practice.
Recent years witnessed a surge of interest in metasurfaces providing phase-discontinuities, which find novel applications in flat lenses, spin-orbit manipulation, wavefront engineering, information processing, and holography, to name a few. Compared to conventional lenses or imaging devices, metasurfaces provide an alternative approach to wave control and manipulation, thickness reduction, pixel refinement, and transverse resolution.
