- Innovation Methods in Photonics: LECTURE (186797)
- Innovation Methods in Photonics: EXERCISE (186798)
Enjoy your Makerspace
During the semester you will work hands-on on one specific „Innovation challenges“. To ensure a good fit between your personal interests and skills you can pick one project out of an innovation project pool. The projects cover topics like microscopy, optical simulation, quantum optics and machine learning.
The makerspace mentors and technologies (e.g. 3d-printing, 3d-scanners, laser cutter, AR/VR goggles, micrcontroller, vacuum former) will facilitate and support your individual innovation journey. To get an impression about the photonics innovation projects below are two examples.
