The face2phase conference was organized by Optics group on 9-11 October 2017 in TU Deflt. The main topics which were covered during the conference, were holography, computational imaging and lensless imaging. It was an international academic platform where eminent scientists present their ongoing work and new development in the fields. 3 days of conference was completely scheduled with presentations, poster session, holography exhibitions and social evenings. The conference was attended by more than 100 attendees from all over the world. The attendees were students, professors, scientists and employee of prestigious universities and industries.
EPS Delft Young Minds Section and SPIE student chapter Delft were also a part of this conference in organizing a session called SPIE Focus. The primary objective of the SPIE Focus session was leadership skills. The talks given during the SPIE Focus session were mainly focused on the importance of patent and system design in industrial innovation. The session was targeted to the students present at the conference. After this session, we had “talk with experts” session. During this session, we had provided snacks and drinks to the attendees and gave students enough time to interact with the experts and try to have some insight.
The main funding sources for this conference was Photonics NL, Dutch Optics Centre, SPIE Focus and EPS Delft YM section. The conference and the SPIE Focus session were successful and it received large attention within scientific community. Furthermore, we managed to utilize the resources provided by EPS at its maximum potential.
