About the author
John Love was an English-born scientist and educator known for pioneering work in fibre optics and guided-wave photonics. He earned advanced degrees in applied mathematics from Cambridge and Oxford, worked in North America early in his career, and moved to Australia in 1973 to continue his research at the Australian National University.
At ANU, he became an Emeritus Professor and was widely recognized for his contributions to optical waveguide theory. He co-authored the well-known textbook Optical Waveguide Theory, and his work helped shape the way photonics was taught and studied.
He is also remembered for his philanthropy. In 2014 he funded the Love Scholarships at ANU to support students facing financial or personal barriers, and after his death in 2016 his bequest continued that support through scholarships and bursaries.
