Talks 2015
AOG Seminars 2015
The 2015 Applied Optics Group seminars have begun, and are currently looking for additional speakers to present their work. This season, we are splitting up the talks into different intents;
- Short conference style presentations or project update talks (~10mins-20mins)
- Conventional seminar talks presented by internal AOG members (~30mins-1hr)
- Invited seminar talks by guests from external institutions (~20mins-1hr)
- Informal forums discussing common techniques, equipment availability/requirements, research/researcher assistance or guidance, and other applied optics matters (variable)
The current talks normally take place in the Tower Building Room 203 on Tuesdays at 12:30pm (alternative locations/times are highlighted below). If you would like to volunteer or volunteer internal/external speakers, please contact Richard Smith.
