[ENCI-l] [COPSS] IBM Research Talk

[Students in Civil Engineering Undergraduate Program]

Hello everyone,



COPSS<https://www.ucalgary.ca/osa-spie/> (Calgary Optics and Photonics Student Society) would like to invite you to the talk by Dr. Eric J. Zhang, a Research Staff Member at IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, as well as one of the 2019 OSA Ambassadors. Each year, OSA<https://www.osa.org/en-us/home/> (Optical Society of America) chooses 10 emerging leaders in the optics and photonics community as the OSA Ambassadors to share their expertise and experiences/perspectives with students and early career professionals.



Speaker biography:

Dr. Eric J. Zhang is currently a Research Staff Member at IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, where his research focuses on the systems-level implementation of optical spectroscopy on an integrated silicon-photonic platform. Prior to joining IBM, Eric completed his Ph.D. in the Princeton University Laser Sensing Laboratory, where he specialized in optical spectroscopy for trace-gas detection, particularly Faraday rotation spectroscopy for nitric oxide isotopic ratiometry. He received his B.A.Sc. in Engineering Physics from the University of Toronto, while working in the Micro/Nanophotonics Laboratory developing passive photonic devices for optical sensing.


Please see the attached poster for the abstract. As a 2019 OSA Ambassador<https://www.osa.org/en-us/get_involved/earlycareer/ambassador_program/2019_ambassadors/>, Dr. Zhang is also committed to sharing experiences and providing career advice to students and young professionals at the event.
Admission is free of charge but registration is required.



Topic: Photonic integrated circuits for trace-gas sensing
Time & Date: 1 - 2 PM, Friday, November 29, 2019
Location: ENG 224
Pizzas and pops will be served!
