Plenary and Invited Speakers

PLENARY SPEAKERS

Professor Masaya Notomi FIEEE NTT Basic Research Laboratories, Japan Talk Title: Nanophotonics for Large-scale Photonic Integration Masaya Notomi is Senior Distinguished Scientist at NTT Basic Research Laboratories, Director of Nanophotonics Center, and heading Photonic Nanostructure Research Group. He is also Professor of Physics in Tokyo Institute of Technology. His research interest has been to control the optical properties of materials and devices by artificial nanostructures, and engage in research on quantum wires/dots and photonic crystals. His work was selected as Scientific American 50 Award in 2007. He received IEEE/LEOS Distinguished Lecturer Award (2006), JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) Prize (2009), Japan Academy Medal (2009), and Commendation for Science and Technology by Japanese Minister of Education (2010). Prof Notomi is an IEEE Fellow
Professor Miles Padgett FRSE FOSA FSPIE University of Glasgow, U.K. Talk Title: Light's Twist Miles Padgett holds the Kelvin Chair of Natural Philosophy at the University of Glasgow. He is best known for his work in optical angular momentum, including the conversion of optical tweezers to spanners, the use of angular momentum in communication systems and an angular version of the Einstein quantum paradox. In 2001 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and is presently a Royal Society/Wolfson Merit Award holder. In 2011 he was elected Fellow of the OSA and in 2012 a Fellow of SPIE. In 2008 Prof Padgett won the Institute of Physics Optics and Photonics Prize, in 2009 the Young Medal and in 2014 the Lord Kelvin Medal of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
Professor Sir David Payne CBE FRS FREng University of Southampton, U.K. Talk Title: Enlightening the World Sir David is Professor of Photonics and Director of the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University of Southampton. His work in optical fibres has resulted in most of the special fibres used today, including the revolutionary erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) and kilowatt-class fibre lasers for manufacturing and defence. Prof Payne is a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Russian and the Norwegian Academy of Sciences, the IET (UK), the IoP (UK) and the Optical Society of America.
