Starting in June 2020, new people from all around Europe started their PhD on this wonderful project. Some of them started at the University of Kent, joining the Kent Optica Chapter, Alejandro Martinez Jimenez, and Gopika Venugopal, Sacha Grelet.
NETLAS will train 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESR)s at the sites of 14 partners in Europe (as listed on the Tabs of Beneficiaries and Associated Partners at the top of the page).
NETLAS is supported by Marie Curie Actions of the European Commission, with 4.3 million Euros, to create an interdisciplinary and intersectoral European Training Network (ETN). This will provide state-of-the-art research training in the design and build of the next generation of tunable optical sources for optical coherence tomography (OCT) applied to medical imaging and non-destructive testing (NDT). NETLAS will foster training and education of young researchers in a cutting-edge and rapidly expanding hot topic, while developing 12 novel Photonics technologies and their translation into several distinct areas of application. The training and research programme is born out of a strong and clear need to respond to the challenges of providing faster, deeper, higher resolution imaging and more versatile investigation with a smaller footprint (portable), at a low enough cost to stimulate wide adoption.
NETLAS has its own website which you can visit and know what are the latest news from the researchers involved. Visit the website [link]. Moreover, a two-month newsletter is published with summary on the news
