The 2024 #SPIEOpticsPhotonics conference is off to a great start! It’s been wonderful to connect with some of my favorite scientists! SPIE

🚦🚦🚦B R E A K I N G N E W S 🚦🚦🚦 We've just published the preliminary program for the next Gordon Research Conferences on Plasmonically Powered Processes 2025! I cannot be happier and prouder for such a diverse & groundbreaking line-up! 🙏Thanks all! grc.org/plasmonically-…

Thank you so much to Filiz Yesilkoy for hosting me for a really wonderful and inspiring seminar visit at UW–Madison’s Biomedical Engineering department! It was great to connect with amazing colleagues who are pioneers in biophotonics and many other areas! 🔬💡

It’s truly an honor to receive the IEM GEMINI Faculty mentor award! Thank you so much to UC San Diego Institute of Engineering in Medicine , UCSD Engineering for organizing such a special and memorable celebration, it was a wonderful and inspiring evening with my mentees, mentors and colleagues!

Only one more day until the nanophotonics symposium begins! If you're on or near Caltech campus, join us for a great lineup of speakers on subjects including 2D materials, oxides, biological applications of nanophotonics, and holography. 💡📷🧑‍🔬

Using the microscopic structures on the wings of the Morpho butterfly, UC San Diego researchers developed a simple, inexpensive way to analyze biopsy samples that could make cancer diagnosis faster, more accurate & more accessible worldwide. Lisa Poulikakos today.ucsd.edu/story/butterfl…

Thank you so much to for featuring our latest work on tissue microstructure imaging with the Morpho butterfly wing! 🦋UCSD Engineering UC San Diego Health Moores Cancer Center UCSD Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering UC San Diego
