Horizons of Optics, Photonics and Emerging Sciences (HOPES) Webinar Series | Dr Amanda Foust

With this series, the IEEE UK and Ireland Photonics Chapter is taking a different approach to seminal webinars. Instead of focussing on a single piece of research and/or innovation, we invite highly impactful researchers to discuss the future of their research domains. This will allow the speaker to share their informed view of future innovations on a platform that encourages a true exchange for shaping the evolution of science.

We hope that in such discussions, unique solutions in pure and interdisciplinary domains can be unravelled.

Amanda Foust is an RAEng Research Fellow and lecturer in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London. She obtained a BSc degree in neuroscience with emphasis in computation and electrical engineering from Washington State University, and MPhil and PhD degrees in neuroscience from Yale University. Her team engineers bridges between cutting-edge optical technologies and neuroscientists to acquire new, ground-breaking data on how brain circuits wire, process, and store information.
