EVENTS

CREOL Fall Colloquium Series: Dr. Xiaoming Yu - Explore novel laser-induced phenomena for materials processing
Abstract: The interaction between ultrashort laser pulses and solid materials has unique characteristics that can be explored to enhance the capabilities of laser-based materials processing and precision manufacturing. In this talk, I will discuss recent results in my group regarding…
CREOL Fall Colloquium Series: Dr. Sean Pang - Coherent photonic processing: Towards parallel, high-precision computing
Abstract: The demand in computation continues to grow for scientific discovery, technological development, healthcare, and society at large, yet the energy advantages of miniaturization of digital ICs, predicted by the Dennard scaling, diminish in the post-Moore’s law era. Analog photonics…
CREOL Seminar: Dr. Christopher Betters - SAIL - stepping beyond astronomical instrumentation to engaged and solve industry problems in remote sensing
About the Speaker: Chris completed his PhD at the University of Sydney in 2015 and has worked as researcher there since. His research focuses on the development (design, construction, characterisation, and implementation) of cutting-edge compact optical instruments that harness the…
CREOL Seminar: Dr. Yi-Hsin Lin - Electrically Tunable Liquid Crystal Lenses
Abstract: In this talk, the electrically tunable liquid crystal (LC) lenses developed in my group are introduced. I will explain how we solved the challenges limited by the essentials in physical and chemical properties of nematic LC which benefits the…
CREOL Fall Colloquium Series: Dr. Hadiseh Nasari - Non-Hermitian systems, topological phenomena & photonic emulators
Abstract: Recent years have witnessed a flurry of research activities in the emerging field of topological photonics, predominantly driven by the prospect for topological protection–a property that endows such systems with stability against local defects, disorders, and perturbations. Even though this…
