MQ Photonics Seminar Series - 2012
The MQ Photonics seminar series is the Centre's main vehicle for gaining feedback on research and for obtaining information on new research. While some of the talks are given by MQ Photonics researchers themselves, several spots are allocated for distinguished guest speakers (highlighted below in bold).
The talks cover current trends and exciting new research in photonics and may also involve related topics such as lessons learnt in commercialisation. After each seminar there is time for questions, informal discussion and (occasionally) refreshments.
All the seminars presented in 2011 can be found here.
