The proposed project is to provide travel support for students to attend the 2014 Siegman International School which is to be held at Stanford University from August 3-8 2014. The requested amount is $15,000 for travel and accommodation support for 10 US students. The educational program will consist of a series of presentations on recent advances in the field of lasers given by world experts. Student attendees will have the opportunity to interact with leading scientists and engineers from academic and industry. The meeting will facilitate an open technical exchange between students and lecturers and will promote networking and professional development. The exchange of ideas and future collaboration possibilities are expected to enhance training of a US workforce in this important area of photonics.
The 2014 Siegman International School on Lasers will take place at Stanford University from August 3-8 2014.
