2025 UTA Photonics Workshop

February 14 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm CST

Continuing the tradition of the annual photonics workshop in Dallas Fort Worth area, 2025 UTA Photonics workshop will be held on February 14, 2025 (Friday, 8am-5pm) at the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). The theme of 2025 photonics workshop is Chip-scale photonics and heterogeneous integration (CSP&HI). This free one-day workshop and networking event consists of oral and poster presentations, panel discussions.
This workshop aims to bring interesting parties to share the advances, issues/challenges, and future directions from basic research to practical applications. While the theme is on CSP&HI, we also welcome presentations on all aspects of photonics, optics, and semiconductors. Regional and national collaborations will be explored. Workforce development and student education will also be discussed.
