Among the visiting speakers, Prof. Pallab Bhattacharya, University of Michigan, gave a talk on “Quantum dot and nanowire visible LEDs and lasers”; Prof. Thomas Krauss, University of St. Andrews, gave a talk on “Controlling light in photonic nanostructures for enhanced emission and sensing applications”; Prof. Eric Michielssen, University of Michigan, gave a talk on “Fast-multipole (FMM) accelerated integral equation methods for analyzing photonic devices; Prof. George Stegeman, University of Central Florida, gave a talk on “Nonlinear optics of high-intensity laser filaments in air; and Prof. Aziz Rahman, City University of London, gave a talk on “Rigorous characterization of nanophotonic devices by finite element method.
Later on, KAUST and KFUPM faculty illustrated their recent works in photonics research. The workshop ended with a poster session from Graduate Students and Post-Doctoral Researchers from KAUST and KFUPM.
