Presentation from past PhD student, Dr Sophie Caujolle on her experience of transitioning to industry from academia. Sophie completed her PhD in Applied Optics Group, now she works as Technology Scout at Heidelberg Engineering Friday 28th October, at 6 pm in Kennedy Seminar Room 2 University of Kent

Congratulations to our PhD Students Sacha Grelet and Alejandro MJ for publishing their results on time-stretch and supercontinuum spectral broadening dynamics ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/99703…

Stable release of PyFibreBundle, Python package for imaging through fibre bundles now available. Includes core removal, mosaics, super res. pip install pyfibrebundle or github (w/ examples): github.com/MikeHughesKent… docs: pyfibrebundle.readthedocs.io [1/5] Applied Optics Group School of Physics and Astronomy

Congratulations to our NETLAS PhD Students Alejandro MJ Marie KLUFTS Rene Riha, Irene Lamoso, Ashim Bashir, Esteban Proano, Sacha Grelet, Philipp Tatar-Mathes for their presentations at the Photonics West Conference, San Francisco, 28 Jan - 2 Feb 2023! Well done everyone!

I have a PhD project (Deadline 5th March), eligible for the EPSRC studentships we have at Kent. If you're interested in building new fibre-based imaging systems for applications in medicine/bioscience, please get in touch. #phd findaphd.com/phds/project/t…

If you're interested in coming to Canterbury to join us School of Physics and Astronomy for your PhD in optics/biomedical optics, we have several projects which are eligible for fully-funded EPSRC studentships (competitively awarded), details here: research.kent.ac.uk/applied-optics…

If you use Python/PyQT for your imaging GUIs, we've released ImageDisplayQT, our in-house widget for image display, with status bar, ROI, zoom & overlays. pip install ImageDisplayQT docs: lnkd.in/dWvmT3yx git: github.com/MikeHughesKent… School of Physics and Astronomy Applied Optics Group

I have a funded internship available for a University of Kent undergrad to work in the Applied Optics Group for 5 weeks on holographic microscopy this summer. Details here: research.kent.ac.uk/applied-optics…

We have a paid internship available this summer for a Kent undergrad in the Applied Optics Group. School of Physics and Astronomy

Had an awesome time at the Cathedral yesterday attending School of Physics and Astronomy student graduations - 1st time being on the "other side" as an academic member of staff! Was also great seeing some of our students (esp Applied Optics Group) receiving very well-deserved prizes, well done to them! 😎

Pre-print evaluating PyFibreBundle python package for real-time fibre bundle image processing (core removal, mosaicing, resolution enhancement) has just gone up: doi.org/10.1364/optica… Details on PyFibreBundle are at: pyfibrebundle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ @optica School of Physics and Astronomy Applied Optics Group

On October 25th, Optica Student Chapter Kent joined the Kent Engineering Society's opening event! 🚀 Their president shared their mission and ways of teaming up with networks and charities, such as Remap, which helps people with disabilities living a more independent life.
