On May 7, 2024, the official website of the Canadian Academy of Engineering announced that Dr. Gu Bo, a renowned expert in the laser industry, has been elected as a member of the Canadian Academy of Engineering.

Dr. Gu Bo
Academician of the Canadian Academy of Engineering
Founder/President of Bose Photonics, USA

Dr. Gu Bo is recognized as a pioneer and academic leader in the global field of fiber lasers and laser micro/nano processing manufacturing. For the past forty years, he has been working directly in the fields of laser and optics, from basic research in laser physics, to the development of laser devices and materials, to the design and research of laser systems, and finally to the large-scale industrialization and commercialization of laser technology. He has made breakthrough and pioneering contributions. His work has greatly promoted the progress of laser science and technology and applications, changed and improved the global microelectronics manufacturing and industrial precision machining manufacturing industries, with an economic impact of over hundreds of billions of dollars. He is also an outstanding business leader in the optical and laser industries, and has achieved tremendous commercial success. Over the past thirty years, he has consistently served multiple optical and laser societies worldwide without compensation, making significant contributions to both academia and industry.

Dr. Gu Bo was awarded the SPIE Maiman Laser Award at the 2023 International Society for Optics and Photonics and the Arthur L. Schallow Award at the 2022 American Laser Institute in recognition of his outstanding contributions to global laser technology and applications at the highest level. He is also an OPTICA Fellow, SPIE Fellow, LIA Fellow, and COS Fellow of the Chinese Optical Society. In 2024, he was elected as a member of the Canadian Academy of Engineering (FCAE).

It is reported that Dr. Gu Bo will attend the opening ceremony of the "2024 Wuhan Optics Expo" held at the China Optics Valley Science and Technology Exhibition Center from May 16 to 18, as well as the "2024 International Laser Industry Conference" on May 17. He will give a conference report and participate in roundtable discussions at the industry conference, discussing industry development with industry colleagues.
