Allan Dawson Boardman is a British physicist, known for his work on surface plasmons and guided wave optics, especially nonlinear waves, solitons, magneto-optics and negative refracting metamaterials. He is a theorist and numerical analyst in these areas, especially magneto-optics and metamaterials. In 2006 he was made a fellow of the Optical Society of America for his contributions in these fields and for "exemplary leadership and service to the optics community".[1]
Allan Boardman is Professorial Research Fellow[2] at the University of Salford and holds a Doctor of Science degree from the University of Durham. He is a Fellow of the UK Institute of Physics and a Fellow of the UK Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. He was the conference chair for the major UK photonics meeting called Photon10.[3] He is a Fellow of the SPIE[4] and co-chair of the SPIE Photonic Metamaterials conference series to be held in San Diego in 2014.[5] He has also organized other conferences, including being a Director of a number of pivotal NATO Advanced Study Institutes.
He is the chair of the Optics and Photonics Division of the UK Institute of Physics and is Vice-President of the United Kingdom Consortium for Optics and Photonics (UKCPO). He has served as a Board member of the Quantum Electronics and Optics Division of the European Physical Society. He is the UK voice on the new European strategy program called OPERA [Optics and Photonics in the European Research Area] 2015.
Boardman was honoured with a special session in his name at the 3rd International Conference on Metamaterials, Photonic Crystals and Plasmonics (Meta '12) in Paris in 2012.[6][7] He has presented nearly 300 conference papers and has been editor for several books, such as 'Soliton-driven Photonics' http://www.amazon.com/Soliton-driven-Photonics-Nato-Science-II/dp/0792371313/ .
