RUOK DAY @IPAS

Stan Sarac from Student Counselling Support facilitate a scenario based session where you will have an opportunity to practice asking RUOK questions. There will also be a discussion on what to do when things don’t go as expected and what you can do to improve the situation.

Jiawen Li - Ultrathin multimodal endoscopic probes

Preclinical studies and clinical diagnostics increasingly rely on techniques to visualise internal organs at high-resolution via endoscopes. Miniaturised endoscopic probes are necessary for imaging small luminal or delicate organs (e.g., small airways, blood vessels and bile ducts) without causing trauma to tissue. However, current fabrication methods limit the performance of these ultrathin endoscopic probes, resulting in 1) low resolution or depth of focus and/or 2) incapability to conduct multimodal measurements.

Semiconductor quantum materials and quantum optics

“The interaction of quantum states of matter with light encompasses a broad swath of science and technology; for instance, spanning atomic physics to telecommunications. Here, I will focus on the moderately narrow window of light interactions with semiconductor quantum matter. After a broad introduction including my highly opinionated definition of quantum matter, I will discuss three of our recent experiments covering optical states in semiconductor quantum dots, their interaction with nanofabricated microcavities, and topological edge states in single monolayers of graphite—graphene. Optical processes in quantum materials requires the interaction of many disciplines, and I will partially highlight the material science, physics and engineering aspects essential in the success of these experiments in semiconductors.”
