This week in Another Wavelength, we chat with BS student, Shriniketh Sreevatsan. He is pursuing a degree in optical engineering. Shriniketh is doing research with Dr. Euan McLeod in the nanophotonics lab.

The University of Bristol, UK has received funding to host the International Summer School in Integrated Quantum Photonics (ISS:IQP) which is available to PhD students based in the US, Canada and the UK and will take place between 19 – 26 July 2023. ISSIQP will present the fundamental principles of integrated photonic devices, including hands-on activities involving design, fabrication, and characterization, then showcase how such integrated photonic devices and components can be used to implement applications in quantum technologies.

Optica’s prestigious 2023 Emmett N. Leith Medal has been awarded to Dr. David Brady for his invention of sparse holography. In reaction to receiving the Leith Award, David said “Emmett Leith brought communication theory into optical system design. My work on compressive measurement continues the thread that he started. It is of course a cliché to note that we stand on the shoulders of giants, but it is wonderful to have an opportunity to recognize those giants through these awards.” Congratulations, Dr. Brady!

It isn't often in Tucson, AZ we get to enjoy snowy weather! But sometimes we get lucky—and this time it happened in March! We will continue to add fun photos to this album as they are received. Enjoy this collection of wintry weather from Wyant College faculty, staff, and students! Send photos to Amee Hennig if you would like to contribute.
