On June 4, the École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS) hosted the annual conference of our strategic cluster. The team worked hard to design and deliver an ambitious program that provided participants with fresh perspectives and complementary knowledge as well as an opportunity for the community, including our talented students, to shine.
For the 2024 edition, the event was organized around two main themes: “exploring the potential of applications & discovering the scope of careers and research in photonics”.
Nine renowned professors, researchers and professionals delivered brilliantly crafted talks to an audience of nearly 230 COPL members and partners.
The list of speakers:
– Juejun Hu, DMSE Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
