ICFO student chapter featured in OSA Focal Point

The activities of the ICFO-OSA Student Chapter highlighted in Focal Point

March 17, 2006
The ICFO-OSA Student Chapter continues its vigorous activities, addressed at offering new educational and career-advancement opportunities to its student members. A summary of the activities conducted during 2005 has been recently featured in OSA Focal Point.

During the academic year, all Student Chapter members were invited to give presentations related to their own field of research activity. Thus, the members enjoyed two such seminars. The seminars were attended by non-members as well.

When Professor Emil Wolf visited Barcelona last fall, the Chapter took the lead in welcoming him at ICFO. The students had a long informal chat with him about Optics in general and about career advice for young scientists in the field.

The Chapter took also part in a campaign to get exposed to all University students. Students gave talks about the importance of Optics in day to day life as well as its importance in the industry. Also, the Chapter underwent a recruitment drive among the PhD students at ICFO, which resulted in seven new members. Several ICFO postdoctoral researchers were also interested in the activities of the chapter and the chapter happily invited them to serve in its Board of Advisors.
