Week 3: Overview of The Optics Group

Hello everyone!

This weeks talk will be given by Dr. Matt Edgar of the Optics group. Matt Edgar is a research associate in the Optics Group at the University of Glasgow. He received his BSc and PhD degrees in physics and astronomy in 2007 and 2011, respectively. He started his research career in the Institute for Gravitational Research at Glasgow, developing advanced interferometric techniques to enhance the sensitivity of long-baseline gravitational wave detectors. Since joining the Optics Group at Glasgow, he has been investigating the use of camera technology to perform fundamental tests of quantum mechanics and more recently has been developing computational imaging systems for applications in methane imaging and 3-D imaging.

In this talk Matt will provide a brief overview of the research activities within the Optics Group, highlighting a selection of recent experiments that cover a range of topics including Quantum Optics, Classical Optics, Computational Imaging, Atom Optics, Geometrical Optics as well as a selection of exciting outreach activities that he has been involved in over the years.

The talk will take place in Kelvin 257 on Thursday 19th July at 3:00PM.

See you there!
Kyle
