Illuminating ideas

Giorno 16 maggio 2025, con inizio alle ore 9:00, presso l'Aula Magna del DFA, si svolgerà il workshop Illuminating Ideas: A Workshop for the International Day of Light.

Il workshop, organizzato in occasione della Giornata Internazionale della Luce, è rivolto a Studentesse e Studenti del CdLM in Physics, Dottorande/i, Ricercatori/trici e Docenti le cui attività di studio o di ricerca richiedano l'uso della luce in diversi ambiti della fisica.

L'evento mira a evidenziare il ruolo chiave e interdisciplinare della luce, dall'ottica e dalle tecnologie di rilevamento all'astrofisica e all'analisi delle particelle.

L'evento è organizzato in collaborazione con INFN Sez. Catania e CSFNSM.

Il Comitato organizzatore è composto dalla Prof.ssa Maria Josè Lo Faro e dalla Prof.ssa Alessia Tricomi.
