After another successful year the Applied Optics Group
 
Lunchtime Seminars - colloquially known as "Optical Lunches" -
 
I am pleased to announce that the seminars will be running in the
 
2009-2010 academic year.
 
 
 
This year, I have managed to book the 2nd floor lecture theatre in
 
the Tower Building for (generally) alternate Wednesdays, from 1:00 - 2:30pm,
 
so if we have a particularly interesting speaker there should be
 
plenty of time for questions.
 
 
 
* Time: Alternate Wednesdays at 1pm
 
 
 
* Place: Room 203, Tower (the Tower's only lecture theatre)
 
 
 
* Autumn Term: Wednesday 21 October 2009 - Wednesday 9 December 2009
 
 
 
* Spring Term: Wednesday 20 January 2010 - Wednesday 31 March 2010
 
 
 
* Summer Term: Wednesday 14 April 2010 - Wednesday 16 June 2010
 
 
 
 
 
I am going to need willing volunteers to give talks. I would also like
 
folks to think of external speakers they would like to invite to give a
 
talk. As a rough guide, academics might give a talk once every year or so,
 
post-docs every year or two, postgrads once every two or three years. I'm
 
very keen to get good external speakers.
 
 
 
As the Applied Optics Group is in multiple locations (in multiple
 
buildings), it is more important than ever to keep everyone abreast of
 
what's going on. The ever-increasing amount of cross-disciplinary work
 
provides a fantastic opportunity for researchers to hear talks in new
 
areas.
 
 
 
Talks are usually very informal - they can be as short as 15 minutes;
 
usually 30-40 minutes is about right. Alternatively, if you want to give a short
 
talk, then we can run a session with two short (15-20 minute) talks.
 
We have the room booked for an hour
 
and a half, so if there is a particularly interesting talk that generates
 
lots of discussion there should be plenty of time for this. Tea and biscuits will be
 
available afterwards in the lab next door.
 
 
 
Talks will be once every two weeks. The list of forthcoming talks is here:

Optics & Photonics Group Lunchtime Research Seminars

As the Optics & Photonics Group is in multiple locations (in multiple buildings), it is more important than ever to keep everyone abreast of what's going on. The ever-increasing amount of cross-disciplinary work provides a fantastic opportunity for researchers to hear talks in new areas.

Talks are usually very informal - they can be as short as 15 minutes; usually 30-40 minutes is about right. Alternatively, if you want to give a short talk, then we can run a session with two short (15-20 minute) talks. We have the room booked for an hour.

Talks will be every week during the seminar season.
