Summary of weeks 2-4

Hi all,

It has been very interesting past few weeks with Vincenzo presenting his work on near zero refractive index materials on week 2 and Matt, Neal, Euan presenting the overview of the research conducted in the Optics group on weeks 3 and 4. Matt covered primary research interests of Miles, which included single pixel cameras, quantum gyroscope, imaging using entangled photon pairs for increased resolution and sub-shot noise imaging, optical trapping etc. Neal presented Sonia's research projects on Fresnel cones, talbot effect, vector beam shaping for STED type of microscopy and, trapping atoms and cooling them down to upto micro-Kelvin temperatures. Euan gave an overview of Johannes's research which focused primarily on building telescopic windows using lenslet-array pairs to build low-vision aids.

We had a steady attendance of over 40 in every talk and we hope to see similar attendance in future and looking forward to see many more interesting talks in the coming weeks.

Also, we have started sharing the presentations from our colloquia at:  https://www.slideshare.net/UOGOptics. The presentations on research groups' overview talks are currently being uploaded. Uploading presentations will be optional for the presenters so not all the presentations will be available, but we will try to make as many available as possible.

For now, some snapshots from the past few week.. Ciao Adios!
