Structured and Chiral Light Fields for Interdisciplinary Science
The Centre of Light for Life, led by Professor Kishan Dholakia recently hosted "Structured and Chiral Light Fields for Interdisciplinary Science". The two-day workshop was a resounding success, brigning together international experts, including invited speakers from eight leading universities in Japan, such as Chiba ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, Kyoto ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Tokyo, ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Tsukuba, Osaka Metropolitan ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, Tohoku ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, Osaka ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, and the Institute of Science Tokyo.
Among the distinguished speakers was Professor Paras Prasad from the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ at Buffalo, as well as prominent ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n speakers including Associate Professor Kylie Dunning from the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide, Professor Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop from The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Queensland, and Professor Yuri Kivshar from The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n National ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥. The event also featured presentations by Centre members Dr Ralf Mouthaan and Aman Punse, contributing to the depth and breadth of the discussions.
The workshop was marked by a strong turnout and lively discussions, providing valuable opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange, and fostering international collaboration. Attendees also had the chance to tour the Centre's optics labs and Kylie Dunning's embryology lab, gaining insight into some of the exciting research being conducted at IPAS and CLL at the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide
The success of this meeting was made possible by the hard work of Kishan Dholakia, Kylie Dunning, Megan Lim, and all the Centre of Light for Life's members who contributed behind the scenes. The event underscored the Centre’s commitment to advancing research and collaboration within the field of photonics and interdisciplinary science.
