EPS Fresnel Prize goes to ICFO Alumnus
ICFO PhD graduate Tim Taminiau awarded 2015 prize for “Fundamental aspects”
June 02, 2015
The Fresnel Prize, awarded by the Quantum Electronics and Optics division (QEOD) of the European Physics Society, recognizes the highest level of excellence amongst emerging researchers, under the age of 35, in the field of photonics. Every two years, the prize is awarded to a researcher dedicated to fundamental advances in photonics, as well as a researcher conducting applied research. The awards are granted at an award ceremony at the CLEO Europe –EQEC conference in Munich.
The 2015 Fresnel Prize for fundamental aspects is awarded to Tim Hugo Taminiau, for his fundamental contributions to nano-optics and quantum information science through the control of solid-state quantum emitters and spins.
ICFO sends very special congratulations to Tim, who earned his PhD on metallic nano-particles acting as antennas for optical quantum emitters at ICFO in 2011. After ICFO, Tim investigated optically active defects at the California Institute of Technology and Brown University, before taking on his current tenure –track position at Delft University of Technology (NL).
Congratulations Tim!
