Invited talk at Cambridge University
On 29th March, our founder Lia spoke at the Applied Physical Sciences Conference (APSC) at St John’s College, University of Cambridge. The conference brought together experts from both academia and industry to discuss recent innovations in applied chemistry, biology and physics.
APSC was built on the principle that a well-rounded use of interdisciplinary sciences is the best way to benefit society. The event therefore provided a platform for the exchange of ideas between different disciplines and sectors, with the aim of stimulating scientific innovation.
In her talk, Lia introduced attendees to the field of cavity optomechanics, touching on how it has already proved revolutionary in physics, for example through its use in the detection of gravitational waves by LIGO. Speaking about the work of Zero Point Motion, she explained how chipscale cavity optomechanics can redefine sensing limits for everyday devices, with applications in smartphones, autonomous vehicles and virtual reality.
The conference programme also featured many other leaders in the applied physical sciences. Other speakers from industry included Lakmal Jayasinghe from Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Sebastian Fiedler from Fluidic Analytics.
