New publication on defect grids in liquid crystals by Inge Nys Kristiaan Neyts @JeroenBeeckman & Brecht Berteloot

Next to electro-optic modulation based on our PZT technology, we now demonstrate acousto-optic modulation. Great collaboration with Photonics UGent And much more results underway😊

Lukas Van Iseghem of Photonics UGent just published a cool silicon photonics phase shifter using inkjet-printed liquid crystals in Opt. Mat. Expr. doi.org/10.1364/OME.45… - short video: youtu.be/6plfgu8iqIA Niels Quack KTH Royal Institute of Technology LCP@UGent SCRiPTS imec H2020 MORPHIC

Happy to announce that Inge Nys received a junior postdoctoral mandate from the FWO. The next three years she will be working at LCP@UGent on “Chirality, ferroelectricity and surface-induced frustration in patterned liquid crystal components”

#Highly_cited "Surface Stabilized Topological Solitons in Nematic Liquid Crystals" by Inge Nys. LCP@UGent 👉You can read it here:mdpi.com/2073-4352/10/9… #nematic_liquid_crystal #twist_conflict #photo_alignment

Next week Brecht Berteloot will defend his PhD thesis 🔹Patterned Photoalignment of Liquid Crystals and Future Display Applications🔹 Supervisors: Kristiaan Neyts, @JeroenBeeckman & Koenraad Vermeirsch PhD project in collaboration with ScioTeq VLAIO

Don't miss the tutorial on electro-optic materials by @JeroenBeeckman at this event. Registration is free!

Congratulations to Brecht Berteloot for becoming a doctor in photonics engineering! 🎓 Master of Science in Photonics Engineering Kristiaan Neyts @JeroenBeeckman

Congratulations to Rohan @r_sharma1998 for receiving the FWO PhD grant! 🎉🥳🍾 In our group he will research chiral LC based components for next generation photonic applications Master of Science in Photonics Engineering

Yesterday we took a new group picture. Spot the differences with the old one: are we getting younger or older on average? 😄

Happy to share that my latest paper has been published in an open access journal Optics Express from Optica Publishing Group. In this research we proposed a novel chiral liquid crystal based lens for a spectral detection. You can find a full article here: lnkd.in/eTnCimyz

Proud to share that our latest research on photoaligned chiral liquid crystal gratings is published in the current issue of Advanced Optical Materials! LCP@UGent Faculty of Engineering and Architecture UGent FWO Adv Optical Mat onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

This week Sheng Yang defended her PhD work on Numerical modelling and experimental characterization of Kesterite and Chalcogenide thin-Film solar cells ☀️ Supervisors: prof. Johan Lauwaert & dr. Samira Khelifi

The crystalline photonic microparticle in the clip has helical chirality. As a result, it responds completely differently to right- and left-handed circularly polarized light. Kristiaan Neyts LCP@UGent Photonics UGent 👉 ow.ly/U11G50MUjqu

Yet another PhD defense: Ingrid Amer Cid successfully defended her thesis on Thursday (16 Feb)! Title: Single Microparticle Electrophoresis to Study Polymer and Nanoparticle Adsorption Promotors: Prof. Filip Strubbe & Prof. Kristiaan Neyts

Congratulations to Ingrid and Lenny! Their manuscript "Single-particle electrophoresis for studying the adsorption of cationic polymers onto anionic particles" has been given an Honorable Mention in the best student paper award for February 2023! doi.org/10.1002/elps.2…
