ImPhys Science day 2016

This year the Science day was in a different format and location for an inspiring and creative approach. The traditional poster presentations were replaced by discussions around seven scientific themes. In the afternoon there were lectures by Prof. dr. Sylvain Gigan and Prof. dr. Freek Beekman followed by workshop sessions. 

Challenge & Inspire

Discussion Groups:

1. “It’s a small world after all” - Beating physical constraints for fabricating small-scale objects
2.  “Now you see it, now you don’t” – Limits of high-resolution imaging
3.   “Bits in Null space” - Solving large inverse problems
4. “Big data? Bigger data? Biggest data?” - Handling large volumes of data
5. “Small is beautiful” - Imaging extremely small objects
6. “Making all the right noises” - Beating the noise in your measurements
7. “Help, my signal is drowning in the noise”

Inspiration from outside
