Conferences & seminars

SPIE Photonics West, the leading global event for the photonics and laser industries took place in San Francisco in early February 2020. The conference comprises over 5,000 presentations on a wide range of topics including biomedical optics, biophotonics, industrial lasers, optoelectronics, microfabrication, MOEMS-MEMS, and displays. Additionally, over 1300 exhibiting companies were present at the Technical Exhibition promoting their latest achievements in optics and photonics technology.

The aim of the Piotr Węgrzyn business trip was to participate in the annual conference: IONS Conference on Optics, Atoms, and Laser Application organized by the University of Otago, The Optical Society (OSA).

Julia Sudyka, Alejandra Consejo and Paulina Niedźwiedziuk, members of prof. Wojtkowski group participated in Women in Tech Summit conferences. This is the biggest meeting of women in technology, female inventors, IT students, and representatives of high-tech industry in Europe and Asia.

Piotr Węgrzyn participated in Summer School “Imaging in wave physics: multi-wave and large sensor networks organized by Institut d’Études Scientifiques de Cargèse and Institute Langevin. Participation in the school allowed him to expand his knowledge about modern imaging techniques and signal processing algorithm.

Jakub Bogusławski took part in CLEO – Conference on Lasers and Electro-optics held in Munich, Germany. This conference offered many interesting and specialized lectures in the field of photonics and laser technology. Jakub presented the poster entitled “Label-free optical readout of bacteria density in nanoliter droplets”.

Piotr Węgrzyn, a member of the team of prof. Wojtkowski attended the conference OSA Frontiers in Optics + Laser Science which is an annual meeting of The Optical Society (OSA). Each year, this conference highlights the latest advances in optics and photonics ranging from physics and chemistry to biology and medicine.

Dawid Borycki (member of Wojtkowski team) was attending IEEE Photonics Conference. The purpose of this business trip was to chair a session on computational imaging (TuA2) and present a talk entitled: “Spatiotemporal optical coherence (STOC) manipulation improved imaging with full-field swept-source OCT”.

Piotr Węgrzyn attended the annual polish OSA-SPIE-EPS student chapters meeting - OPTO2019:Toruń conference hosted by Faculty of Physics, Astronomy, and Informatics at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.

The main goal of the Mounika Rapoluvisit was to present a lecture: “Longitudinal growth and progression studies of in-vivo mouse brain Glioblastoma (GBM) tumor microvasculature using OCT”. The SPIE/COS Photonics Asia is an international conference organized by the international society for optics and photonics held at Hangzhou International Expo Center in Hangzhou, China.
