The Practical Optics Workshop (POW) is a set of focused activities outside of the regular curriculum that provide graduate students opportunities to learn valuable practical skills. The goal of POW is to fill the gap between the classes and the actual research work. It covers skills that are broadly need for graduate students’ research and their future employment. The main organizer of this workshop is Dr. Ping Zhou from LOFT. Faculties through out the College of Optical Sciences will participate teaching. Test runs for some of the sub-workshops are already under going. The official kicked off will be in the coming semester. A more detailed introduction can be found here:
