The OSA has awarded the William F. Meggers Award
for recognition of his outstanding work in spectroscopy to Tony F. Heinz
Stanford University and SLAC
National Accelerator Laboratory, USA
For seminal studies of the properties
and dynamics of surfaces, interfaces,
and nanoscale materials by diverse
spectroscopic techniques, including
through the development of powerful
new methods .
Tony Heinz received a B.S. in physics from Stanford University, USA, and a Ph.D. in physics
from the University of California, Berkeley, USA. He is a
professor of applied physics and photon science at Stanford University and the Associate Laboratory Director for
Energy Sciences at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Previously, he was a research staff member at the IBM Watson Research Center, USA, and a professor of physics and
electrical engineering at Columbia University, USA. He is a
Fellow of OSA and served as OSA President in 2012.
Heinz has developed a wide range of spectroscopic
techniques to examine the properties and dynamics of
nanoscale systems. These methods include interface sensitive nonlinear spectroscopy and time-resolved approaches, such as terahertz time-domain techniques. The
measurement techniques have been applied to elucidate
the electronic, optical and chemical properties of 0-, 1-,
and 2-dimensional materials and interfaces. The research would not have been possible without the insight and
hard work of more than 70 graduate students and postdocs over the years.
