2016 Campers have enjoyed snorkeling, desert safari, horse

and camel riding, rafting, beach team building and BBQ.

Some even received Scuba diving licenses here.

Eligibility

Bachelor and Master students in Electrical Engineering,

Physics, Material Science and Engineering, Optoelectronics

and other related disciplines are welcome to apply. As it is a

very competitive process, high GPA and research

experience can boost the application. Although not required,

good standard English test scores for non-native speakers

can be helpful.

Overview

Photonics has revolutionized the 21st century technologies.

It enables new superior tools in areas ranging from medicine

to communications to clean energy, which comes with

outstanding career and employment opportunities for young

scientists and engineers. This 4-week summer camp is to

expose the participating students to the frontiers of

photonics research.

Program

The Camp comprises a well-designed mix of workshops and

hands-on cutting-edge research projects in use of state-of-

the-art nanofabrication and imaging facilities. Four key areas

of photonics research will be covered by leading scholars

and experts:

• Fundamentals of semiconductors for photonics

• Optoelectronics science and technology

• Nonlinear optics and emerging optics

• Photonics communication science and technology
