WASHINGTON, March 25, 2014—The Optical Society (OSA) and the Optical Society of Korea (OSK) are pleased to announce that the inaugural Sang Soo Lee Award winner is Mario Garavaglia of the Center for Optical Research in La Plata, Argentina. Garavaglia is being honored for his key role in the development of optics and photonics research and education in Argentina.
 
Established in 2012 by OSA and OSK, the Sang Soo Lee Award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in founding or growing the optics and photonics community at a local or regional level. The award honors eminent individuals who have played a key role in a specific region, through research and/or education in optics or photonics, by introducing a new field of study within optics or photonics, or initiating an optics and photonics industry. Sang Soo Lee was known as the “Father of Optics” in South Korea where he had a career spanning more than four decades and was active as an educator, researcher and author.
 
“Mario embodies the spirit of the Lee Award through his dedicated work advancing optics and photonics education and research in Argentina,” said OSA President Philip Bucksbaum. “He has worked tirelessly to grow the community through his students, research labs and publications. On behalf of OSA, we commend him for his efforts and leadership.”
 
“The Lee Award is meant to recognize exceptional individuals who have made a lasting contribution to a local optics community just as Sang Soo Lee did in South Korea,” said Jeong Weon Wu, OSK President. “Mario is a much revered member of the Argentinian optics community and is in a lot of ways, the father of optics there. He is a fitting inaugural recipient of the award and we congratulate him on his accomplishments.”
 
Garavaglia founded the spectroscopy, optics and lasers laboratory at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata in 1966 and the Center for Optical Research (CIOp) in 1977 where he served as director until 1992 and is currently a researcher. Garavaglia has published more than 250 research papers on topics such as classical and modern optics, optical emission spectroscopy and laser spectroscopy and was awarded the 1999 ICO Galileo Galilei Award for his work in support of optics education.

한국광학회와 미국광학회, 이상수 賞 (Sang Soo Lee Award) 제정

국가 또는 지역의 광학 및 포토닉스 관련 연구와 산업 발전에 크게 기여한 이들의 공로를 표창

한국광학회(OSK)와 미국광학회(OSA)는 우리나라 광학 및 포토닉스 분야 선구자인 故이상수 박사의 업적을 기리기 위해 새로운 상을 제정하였다. 한국광학회와 미국광학회가 공동으로 운영하게 되는 이 상은, 특정 지역 또는 국가에서 새로운 광학 및 포토닉스 분야의 연구와 교육을 최초로 시작하였거나 또는 관련분야의 산업을 선도적으로 일으키는데 크게 기여한 이들에게 수여한다.

故 이상수 박사는 2010년 타계할 때까지 40년 이상 열정적인 교육자 및 연구자로서 활동하면서 국내 광학 및 광기술 발전의 기초를 닦은 선구자이다. 그는 1989년 한국광학회 설립에 핵심 역할을 하였으며 초대 회장을 역임하였다. 또한 우리나라 최초의 과학기술분야 연구중심대학원인 한국과학기술원(KAIST)의 초대원장을 역임하였다.

한국광학회 윤태훈 회장은 “故 이상수 교수님은 광학 및 포토닉스 관련 과학기술을 한국에 처음 들여오는데 중추적인 역할을 한 과학자로 잘 알려져 있다”며 “그의 탁월한 업적은 이 상을 통해 기념될 것이다. 우리는 앞으로 오랫동안 세계 각 곳의 탁월한 전문가들에게 이 상이 수여되기를 기대한다.”고 말했다.

미국광학회 토니 하인즈 (Tony Heinz) 회장은 “OSA는 특별한 의미를 갖는 이 상을 OSK와 공동으로 제정하게 된 것을 매우 자랑스럽게 생각한다”며 ”이상수 상을 통해 전 세계 어느 곳에서든 특정 지역 및 국가에서 광학 및 포토닉스 분야 발전에 막대한 기여를 해 온 이들의 업적을 인정하고 표창을 할 수 있는 새로운 기회가 마련되었다“고 말했다.
