Last night we gathered with colleagues and friends of IPOS for the biennial Peter Domachuk Memorial Lecture from Prof. Shanhui Fan (Stanford), one of the world’s leading minds in photonics and electromagnetism.
We closed with dinner at the Opera House.

Just wrapped up a very successful leadership retreat with the outstanding Research Operations Division leadership team at the University of Sydney. It was a productive and energising day — a chance to step back, reflect on what we’ve achieved, and sharpen our focus for the next phase.

Heading back to Sydney from LAX after an energising week at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) conference. #CLEO2025 lived up to its reputation as the premier forum for cutting-edge photonics and optical physics with outstanding science and technology driving impact.
