Developments in
Optics and Communications
Riga, April 10 - 12,
2013
About the Conference
The Organizing
Committee kindly invites you to take part in the conference „Developments in
Optics and Communications 2013”. It will be held next spring in Riga, Latvia.
It is organized
jointly by University of Latvia SPIE Student Chapter (ULSPIE) and OSA Latvian
Student Chapter (OSAL).
Scope
The purpose of the
conference is to bring together young scientists (students) working
experimentally and theoretically in the fields of optics and photonics to share
and exchange new ideas and to establish contacts for future collaboration. We
also encourage students of Physics to present their BSc, MSc or PhD thesis.
During the
conference, an international networking event will be organized to develop
future connections between SPIE and OSA student chapters of different
countries. SPIE and OSA student chapter members are kindly welcome to
participate.
The official language
of the conference is English.

Guest speakers
Prof. Ifor Samuel
University of St Andrews, United Kingdom
Lecture on Optoelectronics
He is a professor of Physics and Director of the Organic Semiconductor Centre, University of St Andrews in Scotland. He is also a regional/associate editor of Journal of Photonics for Energy, and Synthetic Metals. He leads a research group exploring the physics of organic semiconductor materials and devices - such as organic light-emitting diodes, solar cells and lasers. The group has particular expertise in photophysics including time resolved luminescence from femtosecond to microsecond timescales and its application to the development of advanced materials such as dendrimers and star-shaped truxenes. Prof. Samuel explores emerging applications of organic semiconductors, such as explosive sensing and skin cancer treatment.

Prof. Göran Salerud
University of Linköping, Sweden
Lecture on Biophotonics
E. Göran Salerud received Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering in 1986 from Linköpings universitet, Sweden. Dr. Salerud was awarded the Young investigator's award, International Institute of Microcirculation, at the XIV International Conference of European Society for Microcirculation in 1986. He has held the position as director of studies in Biomedical Engineering from 1986 to 1990 and again from 2000 and forward. Since 1986 he also has been responsible for the curriculum in Biomedical Engineering. He is appointed as professor in Biomedical Instrumentation from 2003. Professor Salerud's main research fields are biomedical optics, biomedical signal and image processing. Developing research fields are spectroscopy, pattern recognition and the use of information technology in Biomedical Engineering research especially in microcirculation.
His main research topics include imaging capillaries, skin lesions, wound healing, spatial spectroscopy, and hyperspectral imaging.
