Happy World Telecommunication and Information Society Day! 📡➿💻
Sending greetings to our connected world!
#WTISD #WTISD2023
In 1966, Charles Kao made a discovery in fiber optics: he calculated how to transmit light over long distances via optical glass fibers. Together with laser technology, his solution made telecommunication using optical fibers possible.

It was a pleasure to chair the #ETOP21 plenary on "ETOP Retrospective: An Update". As illustrated by our distinguished speakers, the ETOP conference has certainly come a long way to become a premier #education forum in #optics and #photonics! 🔆📚

An honour to host Prof. Carl Wieman of Stanford University, 2001 Physics Nobel laureate, for his #ETOP21 plenary talk on "New Insights on Teaching and Evaluating Scientific Problem-solving".
Indeed, "real-world" problem-solving is a key skill.

#IEEEDay2019 @IEEEDay
Hello everyone!
This year we are celebrating the 10th year of Historic IEEE Day celebrations and empowering Members to create the Future.
Let's participate in IEEE Day celebrations and leverage Technology for a better tomorrow.
#IEEEDAY #TenYearcelebrations #IEEEMembership
In 2014, we were PhD students collaborating between @unisouthampton & @TUeindhoven/@Coriant under project @MODEGAP to set the world capacity record in hollow-core photonic bandgap fibre.
Now in 2019, I’m joyed to meet Vincent Sleiffer again @ #Subsea19 in Finland 🇫🇮!
@orctweets – at Kontiolahti, Suomi
Spending the week at the inaugural Subsea Optical Fiber Communications International Summer School in #Finland 🇫🇮, hosted by #OSAFoundation & @Google.
Lots of #Photonics 💡, fibres ➿, seas 🌊, ships 🚢, networking 🤝, fish 🐟, and s’mores 🔥!
@OpticalSociety #Subsea19 – at Polvijärvi, Suomi
Great to catch up with ORC alumni, profs, and friends at #ETOP2019/#PhotonicsNorth in #Québec 🇨🇦🍁
Wish everyone all the best! 💡⚡️

It's not too late to join the global celebrations of the UNESCO International Day of Light! 60 countries have already registered activities on and around May 16 that highlight the broad themes of light and light-based technologies. Register here: bit.ly/2xLvvDK #IDL2019
Happy #PiDay2019 🥧! On 3.14, we celebrate one of the most famous transcendental numbers.
#πday #PiDay
Pi is the Swiss Army knife of numbers. No matter how big or small a circle — from the size of our universe all the way down to an atom — the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter is always pi. Check out these 10 ways to celebrate #PiDay w/ us: go.nasa.gov/2TLRUij
ALT Space is full of circular and spherical features, and to explore them, engineers at NASA build spacecraft that make elliptical orbits and guzzle fuel from cylindrical fuel tanks, and measure distances on circular wheels.
