Recently, many COPS came to join at a festive dinner in the cozy Enschede place Bardot (wasn’t this a famous French physicist? 😉 to enjoy joyful company, and celebrate the upcoming Holiday Season and a highly succesful past year, what with 3 PhD theses (Marek, Ozan, Alfredo), 6 refereed papers (4x Opt. Expr., 1x Phys. Rev. B, 1x Nanotechnol.) and a newly granted NWO-TTW Perspectief program AWAVE (3.1 MEUR, co-PI Nandini Bhattacharya) with academic teams and multiple industries. Cheers, salud proost, na zdravje, şerefe!
