COMBS Launch
Welcome to the launch of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Optical Microcombs for Breakthrough Science (COMBS).
Date: Monday 28 October 2024
Time: 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Location: RMIT Media Portal, located on the corner of Swanston and Franklin Streets at RMIT’s City campus.
COMBS has been awarded $35M from the Australian Research Council (ARC) to advance the science and technology of optical microcombs, the world’s most accurate measurement tools, and explore how these tools can benefit society.
The Centre brings together experts in optical physics, semiconductor technology, and various other fields where we believe microcombs can have the most impact, such as information processing, navigation, biomedical imaging, environmental sciences, defence, and space exploration. At the launch we look forward to sharing our research story with you.
The launch will include presentations from key stakeholders, a panel discussion featuring COMBS members and technology demonstrations illustrating the vision of our Centre and the potential impact on our society.
