Abstract

 

https://web.ics.purdue.edu/~nsac/conference/2016/

This conference served as a platform to bring together Purdue students and faculty to discuss how light-based technologies could help address the grand challenges facing our society such as providing affordable solar energy, personalized medicine, etc.

The talks are by Graduate students and Postdocs and focus on one or more of the following areas of significant general interest:

  • Life Science
  • Ultrafast and Quantum Photonics
  • Energy (Solar, etc)
  • Lithography/Fabrication
  • Thermal Science

Each presentation identifies the Grand challenges being faced in those fields, which if solved would result in major breakthrough innovations that would have a huge positive impact on our world.
