BELLINGHAM, Washington, USA – June 3, 2019 – Anton Shutov has been awarded a 2019 Optics and Photonics Education Scholarship by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, for his potential contributions to the field of optics, photonics or related field.
Shutov is a PhD student at Texas A&M University (USA) in a group led by Dr. Marlan O. Scully. Before beginning work on his PhD, he completed both bachelor’s and master’s programs at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in Russia, with specialization in aircrafts strength. As a part of his doctoral work, he investigates new methods for improving coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering by nanoparticles and designs ultrafast lasers systems. He is currently an intern at the Russian Quantum Center, working in Dr. Alexey M. Zheltikov’s group on a novel approach to production of THz radiation by using a sub-TW mid-infrared laser system.
The Society awarded $298,000 in education scholarships to 84 outstanding SPIE student members, based on their potential contribution to optics and photonics, or a related discipline. Award-winning applicants were evaluated, selected and approved by the SPIE Scholarship Committee, Chaired by SPIE volunteer Jeremy Bos.
Through 2018, SPIE has distributed $6 million dollars in individual scholarships. This ambitious effort reflects the Society’s commitment to education and to the next generation of optical scientists and engineers around the world.

BELLINGHAM, Washington, USA – May 31, 2019 – Mariia Shutova has been awarded a 2019 Optics and Photonics Education Scholarship by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, for her potential contributions to the field of optics, photonics or related field.
Shutova is a PhD student in physics and astronomy at Texas A&M (USA) where her doctoral work applies plasmonic nanostructures to biomolecular spectroscopy with nanometer-scale spatial resolution, implements laser beam shaping techniques, and studies interaction of precisely shaped laser beams with various systems and structures. Shutova completed her bachelor’s and master’s programs in Applied Physics and Mathematics at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, where she specialized in aeronautics.
The Society awarded $298,000 in education scholarships to 84 outstanding SPIE student members, based on their potential contribution to optics and photonics, or a related discipline.
