Why Is Ortwin Hess Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Ortwin Hess is a German-born theoretical physicist at Trinity College Dublin and Imperial College London , working in condensed matter optics. Bridging condensed matter theory and quantum optics he specialises in quantum nanophotonics, plasmonics, metamaterials and semiconductor laser dynamics. Since the late 1980s he has been an author and coauthor of over 300 peer-reviewed articles, the most popular of which, called Trapped rainbow' storage of light in metamaterials", was cited more than 400 times. He pioneered active nanoplasmonics and metamaterials with quantum gain and in 2014 he introduced the "stopped-light lasing" principle as a novel route to cavity-free lasing and localisation of amplified surface plasmon polaritons, giving him an h-index of 33.
