Date: 28 September to 2 October 2015
EE research students Mr. Fan Yang and Miss Yanzhen Tan received Best Student Paper Award and Best Paper Award respectively at 24th International Conference on Optical Fiber Sensors (OFS-24) held on 28 Sept to 2 Oct 2015 in Curitiba, Brazil. The winning papers are entitled “Photothermal effect in gas-filled hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber” and “All-fiber photoacoustic gas sensor with graphene nano-mechanical resonator as acoustic detector”. Their PhD supervisor, Prof. Wei Jin, was also honored Best Supervisor Award in the same conference.
OFS is acknowledged as the world’s leading conference on all topics related to photonic sensing technologies. OFS-24 hosted more than 400 participants from over 29 countries. The conference series is held every eighteen months, in rotation between America, Europe and Asia/Oceania since 1983. It provides a vibrant forum for reporting the latest advances in fiber-optic and photonic sensing technologies and related devices. The OFS awards are established to recognize the best works on sensing by using light in general and, in particular, by using optical fiber approaches. In addition, they also recognize researchers whose actions and works have remarkably contributed to the advance of the knowledge within the OFS sensing community.
