In the 1st of April we had the great opportunity to have the OSA Ambassador Chad Husko (Link), from the OSA Ambassador Program (Link)!
The day was very busy since we got another visiting professor Anne l’Huillier (Link).
During the morning Chad had the opportunity to visit some labs and talk to different group leaders from ICFO such as Dr. Niek Van Hulst, Dr. Jens Biegert and Dr. Darrick Chang.
In the afternoon, Chad talked to ICONS OSA Chapter board to give some feedback and help the organization with new exciting and interesting ideas and activities.
Finally, in the evening, Chad gave us an inspirational talk titled “Careers beyond academia” about the opportunities that we have after the PhD thanks to our scientific background and developed skills, and gave us some examples. The explanation was followed with information of the different programs that OSA is running around the world and we opened the turn of questions.

Thanks Chad and OSA for this talk and help!

ICONS and the ICFOTOCLUB organized the first of the series “Photography Talks: “Introduction to the world of photography”, given by Kutlu Kutluer on February 8th. Around 50 people were sitting and listening the teacher 🙂

In the talk we saw different cameras, their most important parameters to be initiated int he world of photography and questions about price vs. quality of the image and time of its learning curve were discussed. Then, the different types of potography with very nice examples were shown, followed with an open turn of questions.

As  part of ICONS’  and ICFOTOCLUB tutorials, we invite all ICFOnians to the second part  of  the series “Photography Talks”. This time, Lukasz Piatkowski and Federica Beduini introduced us in the world of the ultrafast photography and Schlieren camera. The talk was on Friday 18th of March with around 20 people in the audience.

The talk was divided in two parts. The first part given by Lukasz was titled “What if you use a laser pulse as a flash light for your camera? – how to push ultrafast photography to the extreme?”; the second part given by Federica, was titled “The Schlieren photography technique. How this technique allows us to visualize density variations in transparent media, obtaining stunning images even out of very common objects, such as a candle or our hands.”

The activity aimed for all the ICFOnians who have interest in improving their photography skills to be more introduced in the world of this two different types of photography.
