The Biophotonics Seminar Series is held to showcase cutting-edge research in biophotonics. It provides an opportunity for students, faculty, and experts to come together and learn about the latest developments in the field. Presenters discuss their research, methods, and techniques, and how their findings may be used in various applications. The topics covered range from basic theory to advanced techniques and technology, as well as cross-disciplinary areas. Each seminar is followed by a question-and-answer session where attendees can ask questions to gain deeper insights into the subject matter. Through this series of seminars, we aim to promote collaboration between research groups, provide a platform for students and researchers to exchange ideas, and build connections. We are dedicated to advancing the field of biophotonics, and this Seminar Series is one way in which we do so.
