Euro-BioImaging’s Post

Why I enjoy attending #SPIERemoteSensing:   -         It is admittedly one of the smaller SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics symposia. And precisely because of this I like it so much. One doesn’t have to run between hundreds of rooms where various conferences take place. For me it suffices to have a choice between 2-3 concurrently running sessions to decide which presentation I want to see.   -         The almost family-like atmosphere of the symposium: It is a well-established meeting with a long history. This means that some experienced scientists and engineers attend it every year. At the same time, because of the long history of #SPIERemoteSensing these senior attendees have a sense of commitment and duty to this meeting and welcome each new, young participant with open arms. There is a sense of belonging which is transferred from generation to generation.   -         SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics goes out of its way to make it the best organized and the most pleasant meeting to attend. The chairs of the meetings are being made feel appreciated for their (voluntary) efforts towards the success of individual conferences. Everything runs super smooth and participants can focus on science, on networking, and on enjoying the social events. Please join us and present your latest work on light propagation through the atmosphere and other random media in RS105 “Environmental Effects on Light Propagation and Adaptive Systems VII”.

https://lnkd.in/dgKvKjDr CERN, İsviçre ve Fransa sınırında yer alan dünyanın en önemli araştırma laboratuvarlarından biri. 10.000 kişinin üzerinde çalışan nüfusuyla her yıl sanatçıları, akademisyenleri ve bilim insanlarını bir araya getirdiği disiplinlerarası yaklaşımla CERN Art and Science Summit (Bilim ve Sanat Zirvesi) CERN’de gerçekleştirildi. Zirveyi Nftify için yazdım. CERN is one of the world’s most important research laboratories located between Switzerland and France. With a population of over 10,000, the CERN Art and Science Summit was held at CERN with an interdisciplinary approach that brings together artists, academics and scientists annually. Inspired by the idea of artists and scientists joining forces and discovering common paths while contributing to society, the Summit’s talks are designed to discuss the processes from discovery to research, from production to sharing.

I presented a poster at SPIE Photonics West 2024 (January 27th - February 1st) at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California! My research focuses on laser processing with femtosecond laser pulses, and I participated in the "Laser-based Micro- and Nanoprocessing XVIII" session within the LASE conference. My poster, titled "Formation of Homogeneous LIPSS on ZnO by Two-Beam Interference of Femtosecond Laser Pulses," explored a novel method for creating highly periodic Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSS).

Predoctoral researcher Maria Benito presented a poster last week in #quantummatter! Superconducting circuits is one of the most popular platforms used for prospective quantum computers. However, e.g. state-of-the-art resonators still report losses at least one order of magnitude higher than predicted for pure bulk dielectric losses, which has been commonly attributed to Two-Level-Systems (TLS) of amorphous materials, such as native oxides. Indeed, despite having been studied for decades, materials-induced decoherence is still one of the major challenges to overcome. Most of the bibliography has focused so far on reducing TLS in terms of metal growth procedures, surface preparation methods, and other fabrication-related characterization. We aim to tackle the issue by benchmarkable metal/substrate combinations, i.e. using the same fabrication procedures and resonator’s geometry, in order to make informed analyses of the substrate-related dielectric losses. It is aimed to fill the gap of current comparisons from meta-analysis, where differences in #chip design and fabrication steps can limit comparisons validity. Here, I will present some of the recent results obtained for Aluminium Superconducting Resonators, which have been patterned on substrates such as Sapphire, Silicon, and Silicon Carbide. Transfer measurements as a function of applied microwave power and operating temperature are employed to extract the internal quality factor of each resonator, while a dedicated design, “tapered” resonators with equivalent coupling to feed line, is used for estimating the TLS surface density.
