Infotech Oulu optoelectronics workshop 2003: Polymer optoelectronics and biophotonics


Infotech Oulu workshop 2003 third in series on Optoelectronic Devices and Instrumentation concentrating this time on Polymer optoelectronics and biomicrosystems, will be organized in May 26-28, 2003. The workshop will be lectured in English and is intended for advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students with some background in optics, optoelectronics devices and biomolecular recognition.

The workshop is closely associated with, and funded by, the Infotech Oulu Graduate School, Graduate School of Modern Optics and Photonics (Joensuu), European Social Fund (ESF) and POHTO. Students of these graduate schools receive tentatively two credit points (2 ov.) by successfully passing the course, but the participation is open to everybody.

Workshop contents

I) Nanothick Organic Photonics and Electronics: Emerging New Applications - Prof. Ghassan E. Jabbour, Optical Sciences Center, University of Arizona, Tucson, USA

II) Polymer-based bioMEMS - Prof. Luke Lee, Co-Director Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center, University of California, Berkeley, USA

 

Workshop consists of approximately 20 lecture hours. A recreational social program, which also aims at promoting discussions with instructors and between participants, is an integral part of the workshop.

At the end of the workshop a final examination is arranged for graduate students, who are required to read the preparatory material delivered in advance. Financial support is available to the students of the graduate schools.
