The Seminar Series established at the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics is a regular event where national and international speakers from different areas of photonics including biomedical optics are invited. These invitees spend two days at Duke and spend a considerable amount of their time interacting with the postdoctoral fellows and graduate students within the different research groups. The seminars provide an important training and educational element to Duke Faculty and students but also are an excellent vehicle of dissemination and exchange of scientific information with external visitors.
