Well-done Mahmoud for your candidacy examination today! We can look forward to lots of great #metasurface science for the next few years! Congrats also to Karim Achouri, your thesis director @EPFL_en

Congrats to Sakthi Priya Amirtharaj for her very successful PhD examination today. Amazing work on molecular plasmonic pico-cavities in the group of Christophe Galland @EPFL_en !

Excited to present our work on multilayered metal metasurfaces at the International Conference on Light-Matter Interaction & Ultrafast Processes (ICLMIUP-2024) in @MGU_Official Kerala, India !

Excited to give a keynote talk at the Photoptics conference in Roma!

On my way to the Photoptics conference in Rome. Looking forward to that event and meeting new Colleagues!

First BBQ of the season. still a bit chilly to eat outside, but the burgers were very tasty. Special thanks to our Chief Cook @KiselevNAM @EPFL_en

Marking exams is not the most exciting activity. although it is quite rewarding to see how far students have gone in the mastery of a topic within a semester @EPFL_en . Well done everyone!

Today, oral exam for my class on Selected Topics in Advanced Optics; great to see all the hard work students put into mastering light scattering, gratings, plasmonics, photonic crystals, metamaterials and metasurfaces. Well done All! And thank you @KiselevNAM for being a top TA!

Today is the written exam for my EE-100 class, best wishes to our futur electrical engineers! @EPFL_en

Best wishes to our 130 Optical engineering students for their exam today @EPFL_en

. actually a very short ride in the end: severe weather over Southern California, many talks cancelled. not going this year😪 @SPIEtweets.

So excited to be on my way to SPIE optics + photonics in San Diego with 4 talks to give on topics as varied as optical diodes, active metasurfaces, AI and trapping and so many to listen too! It's going to be a long 🚂-ride. @SPIEtweets @EPFL_en

Single crystal gold flake with surface defects mimicking a Koch fractal. Congrats to Sergejs Boroviks @EPFL_en for his winning picture ! Isn't Science beautiful?

Congratulations to Karim Achouri @EPFL_en for receiving one of the three Best talk awards @metaconference in Paris for his presentation on Modeling and applications of nonlocal asymmetric metasurfaces!

Lots of exciting science @metaconference Paris. but nothing beats the emotion generated by Monet's water lilies @MuseeOrangerie !

So good to meet so many friends @metaconference #Paris ! Catchup on Science. and all the rest!

Delighted to be invited at the PIERS conference in the beautiful city of Prague! The first time I attended that amazing electromagnetics conference was in 1995 in Washington. and Maxwell's equations are still so fascinating ! @EPFL_en

Post-doctoral position available on plasmon-enhanced organic LED within a collaboration with @Empa_CH and @ETH ! Read more about this exciting offer on @EPFL_en

Delighted to welcome a delegation of Taiwanese photonics colleagues from top universities and looking forward to developing our research interactions! Thanks to @ElisonMatioli @EPFL_Galland @BeneaChelmus and Nicolas Grandjean for showing them around your labs @EPFL_en

Extremely interesting and stimulating Editorial Board meeting of Advanced Photonics and Advanced Photonics NEXUS @SPIEtweets @KingsNanoOptics ! This journal is building an amazing impact; think of it for your next top-notch research results in photonics!
