Workshop 2011
3rd Virtual Photonics Workshop, 19-21 August 2011
The 2011 VP Workshop will continue in a similar format with past Workshops. Morning lectures on the fundamentals combined with interactive sessions on the custom software designed by the Virtual Photonics team will constitute the educational component of the 3 day weekend. There will also be two afternoon technical sessions on “Models and Methods in Computational Biophotonics” (Friday) and “Industrial Activities in Computational Biophotonics” (Saturday). Confirmed invited speakers include: Dr. Amir Gandjbachkhe (NIH), Prof. Andreas Hielscher (Columbia University), Prof. Arnold Kim (UC Merced), Prof. Frederic Leblond (Dartmouth College), Dr. David Cuccia (Modulated Imaging, Inc.), Dr. Michael Giacomelli (Duke University) and Prof. Henrik Wann Jensen (UCSD). The VP Workshops are designed to appeal to both relative novices and active researchers in the Biophotonics field.
