Presidium of Slovak Academy of Sciences awarded Dr. Gorden Videen with honorary plaque of Dionýz Ilkovič. The award was based on a proposal from the Institute of Construction and Architecture SAS. The ceremony took place on Monday, November 14 and Dr. Gorden Videen recieved the plaque from the hands of Vice President of SAS Ing. Karol Fröhlich, DrSc.
Dr. Gorden Videen is internationally recognized scientist with significant results especially in the field of scattering of electromagnetic radiation, optical resonance and optical characterization of small particles, especially of atmospheric aerosol and cosmic dust. His team is linked to internationally renowned scientists from the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Comenius University, FMFI UK and other institutions around the world.
Dr. Gorden VIDEEN who is one of the most influential researchers in the field of electromagnetic scattering and aerosol optics. The optical methods he used for microphysical diagnoses of particulate matter became important in diverse fields of science including chemistry, atmospheric and environmental sciences, or astrophysics. All the methods are based on the fundamental principles of interaction between electromagnetic fields and small particles.
Most of aerosols are recognized as having nonspherical shapes showing the optical effects that deviate appreciably from what is predicted by conventional models of electromagnetic interaction from homogeneous and spherical particles. Gorden Videen has developed unique theories to calculate the light scattering from irregular particle systems, such as particles on substrates, aggregate particles, and cellular systems. He currently is working on detection methodologies of atmospheric threat aerosols, nanoparticle characterization through optical resonances and optics of electrically charged particles. Who expexted that charge-induced resonances in small particles will result in new physical outcomes? And yet, the new theory has successfully been used to explain a number of anomalous optical data, such as amplified microwave attenuation observed in sandstorms.
Dr. Gorden Videen has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals dealing with experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of light scattering. He also has received thirteen patents, edited eleven books, co-authored fourteen book chapters, and has co-chaired eight international conferences, including two NATO Advanced Research Workshops and one NATO Advanced Study Institute. In 2005-2007 he undertook studies at the University of Amsterdam Astronomy Department where he developed and optimized algorithms to calculate light scattering from irregular particles using four different methods. He used these algorithms to analyze various irregular particle systems. During 2011-2013, he also has served as the acting Atmospheric Sciences Program Manager at the Army Research Office.
In his first year at Army Research Laboratory he was a co-recipient of the Technical Achievement Award given for scientific contribution in FY97 and later he has received Army Research Laboratory Fellow, Army 1999 RDA, Space Science Institute Award for Excellence 2012, and Space Science Institute Award for Dedication 2013.
In 2000, he began close cooperation with partners from Slovak Academy of Sciences visiting Bratislava to attend NATO workshop that he co-organized with Dr. Kocifaj. Since that time he has been coooperating with Slovak researchers in a few projects that include organization of the international conference on the optical characterization of atmospheric aerosols, participation in common articles published in highly ranked journals, co-editing a few issues of the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, filing of a common patent application in EU under title „Method and apparatus for lightning threat indication“ and finally working on a common project entitled „Scattering of Electromagnetic Radiation by Electrically Charged and Neutral Particles: Similarities and Fundamental Differences“ that has been supported by the Army International Technology Center and Army Research Laboratory.
Dr. Videen is an internationally recognized scientist who has many collaborations worldwide. His research is characterized by a strong emphasis on understanding the broader aspects of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the matter that requires a deep knowledge in physics, mathematics, but also technology. We congratulate him heartily for his outstanding achievements that make him a most deserving recipient the Dionýz Ilkovič SAS Medal of Honour for outstanding achievements in physical and chemical sciences.
