FIP Annual Symposia
FIP ANNUAL SYMPOSIA

Each year the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics holds an annual symposium that is designed to bring together scientists, engineers and practitioners from multiple disciplines, and provide a forum for presentations and discussions of research, application and development of state-of-the-art instrumentation in photonics.   The annual meeting includes outside speakers, Duke speakers, poster sessions, themed lab tours, industry booths and special panel sessions.
