Happy World Telecommunication and Information Society Day! 📡➿💻

Sending greetings to our connected world!

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

In 1966, Charles Kao made a discovery in fiber optics: he calculated how to transmit light over long distances via optical glass fibers. Together with laser technology, his solution made telecommunication using optical fibers possible.

It was a pleasure to chair the #ETOP21 plenary on "ETOP Retrospective: An Update". As illustrated by our distinguished speakers, the ETOP conference has certainly come a long way to become a premier #education forum in #optics and #photonics! 🔆📚

An honour to host Prof. Carl Wieman of Stanford University, 2001 Physics Nobel laureate, for his #ETOP21 plenary talk on "New Insights on Teaching and Evaluating Scientific Problem-solving".

Indeed, "real-world" problem-solving is a key skill.

In 2014, we were PhD students collaborating between @unisouthampton & @TUeindhoven/@Coriant under project @MODEGAP to set the world capacity record in hollow-core photonic bandgap fibre.

Now in 2019, I’m joyed to meet Vincent Sleiffer again @ #Subsea19 in Finland 🇫🇮!

Pi is the Swiss Army knife of numbers. No matter how big or small a circle — from the size of our universe all the way down to an atom — the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter is always pi. Check out these 10 ways to celebrate #PiDay w/ us: https://t.co/vCuhNiPqnX
