Congratulations to #OpticaFellows Kristina M. Johnson and Eric Fossum, recipients of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation! Each year, the National Medal of Technology and Innovation recognizes exceptional contributions that have advanced knowledge, driven progress, and addressed critical challenges worldwide. In 1995, Johnson (theohiostateuniversity) was named an Optica Fellow for her pioneering work in optical computing, including groundbreaking developments in smart pixel arrays and optical neural networks. Fossum (dartmouthcollege) was elected an Optica Fellow in 2016 for seminal advances in the field of solid-state image sensors and for the invention, development, and commercialization of CMOS image sensors, which have facilitated the widespread use of low-power, miniaturized cameras. #physics #technology nsfgov
