Remembering Jim Bolton

17 Nov 2025 2:27 PM | Perri Katzman (Administrator)

Dear IUVA Members,

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of Dr. James (Jim) R. Bolton’s passing on October 21, 2025.

Jim’s impact on the ultraviolet technology community cannot be overstated. His pioneering research, leadership, and decades of dedication helped shape the global UV industry into what it is today. As a founder of the IUVA, longtime Executive Director, and Editor of IUVA News, Jim guided our organization with vision, generosity, and an unwavering commitment to advancing UV science for public good. Many of the innovations and standards we rely on today exist because of his work.

We will share details of a memorial or celebration of life as they become available, and we will find ways to honor his legacy within IUVA. For now, we invite you to reflect on Jim’s extraordinary life in the obituary below.
