Four engineering students win SPIE awards

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

Four College of Engineering students -- Michael Stinger, Jyotsna Bhamidipati, Justin Liou and Michael Motyka -- won awards at the 53rd annual SPIE Optics+Photonics Conference.

SPIE, the Society of Optical Engineering, gave out 11 awards for excellence in research. More than 4,000 students attended the event, which was held from Aug. 10-14 in San Diego, Calif.

Stinger is a doctoral student in electrical engineering. His focus is on passive wavelength-agile multiple-time-scale optical switching.

Bhamidipati graduated in August with a master's degree in architectural engineering. She presented a paper on her thesis research topic, "Design and Construction Evaluation of Photovoltaic DC LED Lighting System."

Liou is a doctoral student in electrical engineering with a concentration on the nonlinear behavior of liquid crystals. He is the vice president of the Penn State chapter of SPIE.

Motyka is pursuing a master's degree in engineering science and mechanics. He presented a paper that discussed the first published discovery of the ability to launch multiple surface plasmon polaritons with a single monochromatic source.

Winners received a plaque and a travel grant covering the cost of travel to the exhibition.
