ICO PRIZE TO COMPUTATIONAL PHASE IMAGING
Prof. Chao Zuo from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, China, has been awarded the ICO Prize 2025 “for substantial contributions to the fields of computational phase imaging and metrology, particularly for non-interferometric quantitative phase imaging (QPI) and high-speed 3D optical metrology”.
ICO/IUPAP MEDAL TO NONLINEAR SPECTROSCOPY
Prof. Edoardo Baldini form UT Austin (USA) has been awarded the ICO/IUPAP Early Carreer Scientist in Optics Medal 2025 “for pioneering the use of ultrafast optical microscopy to visualise chiral magnetoelectric oscillations in 2D multiferroics, achieving record terahertz-range coupling and revealing new light–matter interactions”.
Galileo Medal to Luminescence Thermometry
Prof. Miroslav D. Dramićanin from the University of Belgrade (Serbia) has been awarded the 2025 Galileo Galilei Medal Award “for outstanding contributions to the field of luminescence thermometry with transition metal ions and nanoparticles”
LORD Rayleigh Medal to Prof. Mark Dennis
Prof Dennis of Birmingham University, United Kingdom, is recognised with the Lord Rayleigh Prize and Medal 2025 “for his leading contributions to vector optics and polarisation topology”. This is a Silver Subject Medal of the Institute of Physics.
PIMICS Project
A hyperspectral system for basic research with resource constrained
budgets.
In 2023, John Howell was President of the ICO and he had an idea of making a low-cost multi-spectral or hyper-spectral camera from the Raspberry Pi. This was announced at the Optics and Photonics Africa 2023 conference in South Africa. The goal was to use the Raspberry Pi, its camera, and the general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins to drive LEDs and/or filter wheels for building multispectral cameras.
