Topic: The Power of Light: Optical Fibres as a Force for Good
Abstract The world has become reliant on research to address the challenges faced by societies, by governments and by the global community. As a consequence, there is an obligation on researchers to work to address the major challenges we face, including training a future generation of researchers but also national and global needs such as economic development, healthcare and security. This talk will describe the ways in which research on novel optical fibres in my own group - often driven by pure interest and the spirit of scientific exploration - has addressed societal needs. Photonics is an enabling technology and developing ambitious research programmes will enable it to contribute fully to building the world of the future, whilst enabling a future generation of researchers to tackle the challenges of the future.
