Polish physicist awarded with the ICO Prize
The International Optics Commission (ICO) has presented prestigious awards for the 36th time. The distinction is awarded annually to researchers who have made a noteworthy contribution to optics. ICO is supported by the Polish Academy of Sciences.
The ICO Prize was established in 1982. Since then, it has been granted to scientists, under 40, whose work contributed to the development of optics. This year, Prof. Wojciech Wasilewski became the laureate of the prize. He is the first Pole who was selected by the International Commission for Optics.
Prof. Wasilewski specialises in quantum optics. Wasilewski works in the Centre of Quantum Optical Technologies which is a unit created under the International Research Agendas Programme, financed by the Foundation for Polish Science.
