Sae Woo Nam, a researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has been elected as a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA). This prestigious honor recognizes Nam’s significant contributions to the development of superconducting single-photon detectors and photon-number-resolving detectors, which have been crucial in advancing quantum optics experiments.
The OSA Fellowship is granted to no more than 10% of its total membership, acknowledging individuals who have made outstanding technical or leadership contributions to the field of optics. Nam’s work at NIST has been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of quantum technologies, and his election as an OSA Fellow reflects the high regard in which his contributions are held within the scientific community.
