Horizons of Optics, Photonics and Emerging Sciences (HOPES) Webinar Series | Prof Miles Padgett

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.

Miles Padgett holds the Kelvin Chair of Natural Philosophy in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow. He leads an Optics Research Group covering a wide spectrum from blue-sky research to applied commercial development, funded by a combination of government, charity and industry.

His research group covers all things optical from the basic ways in which light behaves as it pushes and twists the world around us to the application of new optical techniques in imaging and sensing systems.
