Events

Together with other members of the group Jan Guzowski visited Prof. Roland Zengerle Lab at University of Freiburg, Germany. The agenda of the meeting included presentation by Prof. Zengerle as well as by other two group leaders in his lab, namely Dr. Peter Koltay and Dr. Felix von Stetten.

Yuriy Stepanenko visited the University of Nevada, Reno. The purpose of this study visit was to continue the collaboration began in 2007 with the group of Laser-plasma interaction at Nevada Terawatt Facility, University of Nevada, Reno. The group uses advanced laser sources for plasma generation, particle acceleration and diagnostics of Z-pinch.

The European Conferences on Biomedical Optics (ECBO) is the premier European event bringing together scientists, engineers, and clinicians who work with optics and photonics to solve problems in biomedicine. The conference was a great opportunity to take a look at new trends in Biomedical Optics and related topics.

Egidijus Auksorius, a member of the POB group, has participated in the ‘Photonics for Health’ two-day meeting in Vilnius on May 23rd and 24th, 2019. In this meeting, he has attended discussions with various representatives from the photonics industry and medical sector.

On October, 28 a course on "How to become an entrepreneur" took place at the Institute of Physical Chemistry PAS (IPC). It was held under “Innovation source” open lecture series.

This event was aimed, in particular, to support a transfer of ideas generated at our institute to business. The event consisted of two seminars and a workshop, delivered by Sarai Kemp, and dr. Nitza Kardish – representatives of Trendlines, an Israeli company offering commercialization services at the field of life sciences. The whole society of IPC, including IPC researchers and doctoral students, was invited.

This visit was scheduled in cooperation with one of the best group in the field of ultrafast Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – prof. Huber group from Lubeck. The purpose  of the visit was to obtain results from ultrafast (up to 100 vol./s) OCT on rabbit and mice hearts. In order to do that, we have made a cooperation with Max Planck

The ninth open lecture under a series of “Innovation source” was held on June 25th, 2019 at the Institute of Physical Chemistry PAS (IPC). At the invitation of the ERA Chair Holder, Prof. Jakub Gołąb , Head of the Department of Immunology at Medical University of Warsaw paid a visit at IPC aimed at delivering a lecture „Academic exploring industry - a case study”.

On the 30 Sept.-5 Oct., Mounika Rapolu took part in the Fractal Geometry and Stochastics 6 conference. FGS 6 is an international conference that has grown into a leading platform that connects researchers working in fractal geometry and related fields. Mounika Rapolu has been selected to present a poster on “Multifractal, Fractal and Lacunarity analysis of the three-dimensional cerebral vasculature of the mouse brain in vivo”.

Julia Sudyka was invited by dr Arkadiusz Kosior to give an one-hour talk on recent progress made in context of novel imaging systems developed in group of Prof. Wojtkowski. During the seminar of Atomic Optics department she presented the project concerning Single-pixel camera.

Krzysztof Bielec participated in a research visit at the group of Professor Pablo Rivera-Fuentes. His visit was a continuation of his early 2020 lab visit canceled due to the COVID-19. The main goal of the project was to combine advantages of single-molecular localization and observation of real-time interaction of non-covalent complexes (e.g. protein-protein interactions, DNA hybridization, etc.).
