The National Science Foundation (NSF) has named Dr Andrea Alù the 2015 recipient of its Alan T. Waterman Award. This award is NSF's highest honor that annually recognizes an outstanding researcher under the age of 35 and funds his or her research in any field of science or engineering. This year's awardee will receive a $1 million grant over a five-year period for further advanced study in his field.Dr Alù is an engineering professor at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on man-made materials with properties not found in nature (called metamaterials) and on the interaction of light with matter at the nano scale (plasmonics).Dr Alù and his team achieved the bending of electromagnetic waves around objects, an effect named "cloaking", which renders the object invisible. This was achieved with both a plasmonic, as well as a mantle cloaking method. Such technologies enable the use of sensors that can detect signals without being detected. This concept can also be applied to acoustic, mechanical and matter waves.More recently he has demonstrated non-reciprocal propagation of light or sound in specific metamaterials and developed the concept of metamaterials that can perform mathematical operations as light travels through them. Dr Alù has received awards and recognition from a diverse group of technical societies, including the Outstanding Young Engineer Award from the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society in 2014; the Adolph Lomb Medal from the Optical Society (OSA) in 2013; the inaugural Franco Strazzabosco Award and the Medal of Representation of the President of the Republic of Italy in 2013; the Young Scientist Prize in Optics from the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics in 2013; the Early Career Investigator Award from The International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE) in 2012; the Isaac Koga Gold Medal from the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) in 2011 and a CAREER award from the NSF in 2010.Dr Alù is a fellow of IEEE and OSA, a full member of URSI and a senior member of SPIE. He serves on the editorial boards of the research publications Physical Review B, Scientific Reports and Advanced Optical Materials, and as an associate editor of five journals, including Optics Express and the IEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters.

美国国家科学基金会(NSF)任命安德里亚·阿卢博士为2015年艾伦·T·沃特曼奖的获奖者。该奖项是NSF的最高荣誉，每年表彰35岁以下的杰出研究人员，并资助他或她在任何科学或工程领域的研究。今年的获奖者将在五年内获得100万美元的补助金，用于在该领域进一步深造。阿努特博士是德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的工程学教授。他的研究重点是具有自然界中找不到的特性的人造材料(称为超材料)，以及纳米尺度上光与物质的相互作用(等离子体)。阿卢博士和他的团队实现了电磁波在物体周围的弯曲，这种效应被称为“隐形”，使物体看不见。这是通过等离子体和地幔遮盖方法实现的。这种技术使传感器能够在不被检测到的情况下检测到信号。这一概念也可以应用于声波、机械波和物质波。最近，他证明了光或声在特定超材料中的非互易传播，并发展了超材料的概念，当光通过超材料时，超材料可以执行数学运算。阿诺博士获得了来自不同技术学会的奖项和认可，包括2014年来自IEEE微波理论与技术学会的杰出青年工程师奖；2013年来自光学学会(OSA)的Adolph Lomb奖章；2013年的首届Franco Strazzabosco奖和意大利共和国总统代表勋章；2013年来自国际理论和应用物理联合会的青年科学家光学奖；2012年来自国际光学和光子学学会(SPIE)的早期职业研究人员奖；2011年获得国际无线电科学联合会(URSI)颁发的Isaac Koga金质奖章，2010年获得美国国家科学基金会颁发的职业奖。阿卢博士是IEEE和OSA的院士，也是URSI的正式成员和SPIE的高级成员。他在研究出版物《物理评论B》、《科学报告》和《先进光学材料》的编辑委员会任职，并担任五种期刊的副主编，包括《光学快报》和《IEE天线》和《无线传播快报》。
