In Partnership with SISER and the Intelligent Lighting Centre

OPTICS FOR ENERGY

WEDNESDAY 4th February 2015: 14.00

Venue: Cedar Room, Hugh Nisbet Building: Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh

Whether it is lighting or solar cells, there is almost always a requirement to use optics or optical manipulation to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of devices. This event will consider the latest in optical materials and techniques to address these challenging applications.

Taking the format of short, high-impact talks, and networking opportunities this workshop aims to identify opportunities for collaborative research that could be addressed by collaborations between SU2P, SISER (ETP), ILC, partners and others. Coffee breaks are scheduled with ample time to allow networking and follow-up of topics introduced in the presentation sessions.

Contributions are invited:

Academic staff and industrial researchers are invited to deliver 5-minute presentations, with an additional 2-minutes provided for questions. Presentations should highlight a promising scientific or technical capability, or alternatively should define an important unsolved problem in the theme area.

The registration deadline is 2nd February 2015. Presenting participants will receive email confirmation.
