WiLO, the Organization of Women in Lasers and Optics

UCF Chapter

WiLO, the Organization of Women in Lasers and Optics was founded by a group of CREOL students in February 2014 with the idea to host a growing network of students and professionals, from Universities and Industry, evolving in fields related to Optics and Photonics, to create interactions, develop partnerships in order to initiate collaborations between individuals, between students and professionals and between research groups.

In July 2014, the organization has officially became a registered organization of the University of Central Florida. WiLO is now operating under the CREOL umbrella, organizing events, inviting speakers, animating panel discussions and developing its network.
