Leslie Ann Rusch Elected to the Royal Society of Canada (RSC)

Professor Leslie Ann Rusch will be inducted into the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) – Academy of Sciences for her outstanding contributions to the advancement of photonics, including ultra-wideband technologies, optical communications, and wireless communications.

The orbital angular momentum records achieved by her team in optical fibers and silicon photonics are among the landmark achievements that have fostered the deployment and maturation of the discipline.

Furthermore, the impact of these discoveries extends far beyond the boundaries of the field, affecting everything from large-scale data center architectures to cutting-edge miniaturized biomedical devices.
