Horizons of Optics, Photonics and Emerging Sciences (HOPES) Webinar Series | Prof Sonja Franke-Arnold

With this series, the IEEE UK and Ireland Photonics Chapter is taking a different approach to seminal webinars. Instead of focussing on a single piece of research and/or innovation, we invite highly impactful researchers to discuss the future of their research domains. This will allow the speaker to share their informed view of future innovations on a platform that encourages a true exchange for shaping the evolution of science.

We hope that in such discussions, unique solutions in pure and interdisciplinary domains can be unravelled.

Sonja Franke-Arnold is a Professor of Quantum Optics at the University of Glasgow. Since more than 20 years she is fascinated by twisted light and more recently vector light fields. Her team specialises on the vectorial interaction of structured light with cold atoms at tens of microKelvin.
