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.

国家科学基金会（NSF）将AndreaAlù博士任命为2015年Alan T. Waterman奖的获得者。该奖项是NSF的最高荣誉，每年都会认可35岁以下的杰出研究人员，并在任何科学或工程领域为他或她的研究提供资金。今年的奖项将在五年内获得100万美元的赠款，以在其领域进行进一步的高级研究。他的研究重点是具有自然界中未发现的特性（称为超材料）的人造材料，以及在纳米尺度（Plasmonics）的光与物质的相互作用。这是通过等离子和地幔盖方法实现的。这样的技术可以使用传感器可以检测信号而无需检测到信号。这个概念也可以应用于声学，机械和物质波。最近，他在特定的超材料中证明了光或声音的非重新传播，并开发了超材料的概念，这些概念可以随着光线传播而执行数学操作。 Alù博士已获得技术社会潜水员群体的奖项和认可，包括2014年的IEEE微波理论与技术协会的杰出年轻工程师奖； 2013年获得光学学会（OSA）的Adolph Lomb奖章； 2013年，首届佛朗哥·斯特拉萨博斯科奖和意大利共和国总统代表奖章； 2013年国际纯和应用物理联盟的年轻科学家奖； 2012年获得国际光学和光子学会（SPIE）的早期职业研究员奖； 2011年国际无线电科学联盟（URSI）获得的艾萨克·科加（Isaac Koga）金牌和NSF在2010年获得的职业奖。他担任研究出版物物理评论B，科学报告和高级光学材料的编辑委员会，并作为五个期刊的副编辑，包括Optics Express和IEE Antennas和无线传播信件。
