Dr Arup Lal Chakraborty

, associate professor, Electrical Engineering, IITGN, and coordinator of this workshop said, “The aim of the workshop was to bring together a group of young students and let them work on interdisciplinary applications in a modern photonics laboratory with mentorship provided by experts from India and some very eminent academics from abroad. We wanted to show the students that laser-based techniques are extremely versatile and easy to use. Our lab believes in the saying “The work will teach you how to do it”, and the workshop was conducted in that same spirit. It was also the intent to bring together on a common platform, a group of early-career researchers with diverse research interests from IITGN and other institutes to see if interesting research collaborations might emerge.”
