🌟1ST PHOTONICS HELLENIC SYMPOSIUM (PHOS) 📅Join us on Oct 7-8 at FORTH, Heraklion Crete! 🌍Presentations on photonics by Greek experts and the formation of a Photonics Society in Greece! Details & program: iesl.forth.gr/en/event/confe… Registration: forms.iesl.forth.gr/index.php/1st-…

🏆ICFO Prof. Georgia Papadakis (Georgia T Papadakis) is a recipient of the 2023 Journal of Applied Physics Early Career Investigator Selection’s Best Paper Award (AIP Publishing) Congratulations Georgia!!! 👏👏👏 ICFO News👉icfo.eu/news/2403/2023…

Reposting as the best consideration date (Nov 1) approaches: our group at Univ. of Maryland has an opening for a postdoctoral fellow at the intersection of #Math and #Quantum Information Science. Please help spread the word! mathjobs.org/jobs/list/25094 mathquantum.umd.edu

Farewell to one of the first members of our group that helped shape it, Michela Picardi. She’s off to great things in nature 👏🏻

Our recent work on actively tunable thermal emission in a lithography-free platform with phase change materials is published in Laser and Photonics Reviews, congrats to Maxime Giteau (ICFO, now at CNRS) and Lukas Conrads (Aachen Univ.) for their hard work onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lp…

📝 Cooling in summer, heating in winter: all through one smart window ICFO researchers propose novel smart windows for efficient thermal control, with tunable properties that enable harnessing heat in winter and releasing heat in summer. ICFO News 👉 bit.ly/4lBOCbm

News from the recent work of J. Legendre on thermally smart windows! It may be possible to combine near-IR and mid-IR designs for actively controlling solar heating and radiative cooling, respectively, promising considerably reduced electricity demands icfo.eu/news/2538/cool…
