Announcing the Distinguished Lecturer Selection for 2026

Distinguished Lecturer Selection for 2026

The IEEE Photonics Society Distinguished Lecturer Program was designed to honor excellent speakers who have made technical, industrial, or entrepreneurial contributions to the field of photonics and to enhance the technical programs of the IEEE Photonics Society Chapters.
Chapters may request Distinguished Lecturers to present at chapter meetings, chapter-related events or technically co-sponsored conferences organized by a chapter. Lecturers are selected each term (January 1 – December 31) and now offer both a technical talk as well as a professional development talk. Lecturers are also available for virtual presentations.
