SPIE/OSA Student Chapters from Northwestern University, Washington University in St. Louis, University of Chicago, Purdue University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas A&M University, and Aston University (UK), we are hosting a joint online student seminar.
The use of online meeting technologies has removed the physical barrier across different institutions such that a massive collaboration like this is made possible
This webinar is a weekly event for invited students and postdocs (occasionally faculty members as well) to share their research with a broad STEM audience.
