Symposium with Kobus Kuipers 27-10-2016
This symposium thanks Kobus Kuipers for his major contributions as a researcher, teacher and department head to the vibrant nanophotonics research programme at AMOLF. We also congratulate Kobus with his appointment as department head of the QN department at TU Delft.
Since 2003, the NanoOptics group of Kobus has investigated the amplitude, phase, and vector-nature of light in strongly confined photonic systems on nanometer length scales and femtosecond time scales. Kobus developed unique instrumentation for this purpose, and conceptually pushed the frontiers of our understanding of capturing, slowing and manipulating light. As a co-founder and head, Kobus also developed the Center for Nanophotonics at AMOLF to a bustling hub for state of the art research of all aspects of nanophotonics, inspiring and training generations of scientists.
We cordially invite you to attend this symposium and/or reception on Thursday, October 27. Please find a detailed program of the symposium below, including registration details.
With kind regards,
Huib Bakker
Director AMOLF
