Yet another PhD defense: Ingrid Amer Cid successfully defended her thesis on Thursday (16 Feb)!

Title: Single Microparticle Electrophoresis to Study Polymer and Nanoparticle Adsorption

Promotors: Prof. Filip Strubbe & Prof. @KristiaanNeyts

The crystalline photonic microparticle in the clip has helical chirality.

As a result, it responds completely differently to right- and left-handed circularly polarized light. @KristiaanNeyts @LCP_UGent @PhotonicsUGent

Yesterday we took a new group picture. Spot the differences with the old one: are we getting younger or older on average? 😄

Congratulations to Rohan @r_sharma1998 for receiving the FWO PhD grant! 🎉🥳🍾
In our group he will research chiral LC based components for next generation photonic applications

Next to electro-optic modulation based on our PZT technology, we now demonstrate acousto-optic modulation.
Great collaboration with @PhotonicsUGent
And much more results underway😊

[ACS Photonics @ACSPhotonics]

Researchers from @PhotonicsUGent and @LCP_UGent demonstrate a strong acousto-optic modulation in Silicon photonics integrated circuit by PZT film actuated acoustic waves. https://t.co/x4MBqTneUv
