Meet this week's #WiOWednesday feature, Dr. Martha Vardaki, a dedicated scientist working at the intersection of physics, medicine, and education! ✨ Originally from a small Greek island, Martha's journey to earning a PhD in physics was marked by overcoming significant challenges, including battling imposter syndrome. She attributes her perseverance to hard work and a supportive professional network. Now a postdoctoral research fellow at the National Hellenic Research Foundation in Greece, Martha oversees lab experiments, data analysis, student supervision, research publishing, and grant writing. Beyond her work, she is committed to mentoring and increasing female visibility in science by actively participating in organizations like YWCA and Greek Women in STEM. 🙌 Read Martha's full profile in the 2024 #SPIE #WomenInOptics notebook: https://lnkd.in/gRKtSBQB

"In just a few years in the early 1990s, Nakamura went from a solitary engineer doing R&D for a company in rural Japan, to science famous. His breakthroughs brought invitations to give plenary talks at numerous conferences, where... it became clear that his work on blue LEDs was miles ahead of competitors." Learn about the life of Nobel Prize recipient Shuji Nakamura in the latest issue of #PhotonicsFocus. His work towards developing the blue LED was truly remarkable. https://lnkd.in/gHm8hPzw

"The International Energy Agency reported in January 2024 that a single Google search consumes 0.3 watt-hours of electricity, but one query to ChatGPT requires 2.9 watt-hours of electricity—roughly the equivalent of turning on a 60-watt lightbulb for a few minutes to generate a page of text." The latest issue of #PhotonicsFocus showcases how optics technologies can reduce the energy costs of AI and boost data center efficiency: https://lnkd.in/gr8B-bdv

Calling all engineers, technical managers, and those involved with the construction, analysis, or use of optical systems! 📢 Consider taking "Modern Optical Testing" with Daewook Kim at #SPIEOpticsPhotonics. In this course, the University of Arizona professor describes the basic interferometry techniques used in the evaluation of optical components and optical systems. He covers interferogram interpretation, computer analysis, and phase-shifting interferometry, as well as various commonly used wavefront-measuring interferometers. Sign up before prices increase on 2 August! https://lnkd.in/gqkTHSzR

#Biophotonics innovation in #healthcare: A recent study explores the potential of multispectral autofluorescence imaging for early detection of oral cancer. By analyzing fluorescence patterns in oral lesions, researchers using #MachineLearning achieved 85% sensitivity and 78% accuracy in distinguishing cancerous/precancerous from benign lesions. This technology marks a promising step towards more effective diagnostic tools in oral healthcare. Read about the study's findings, and implications for clinical practice, in the new SPIE journal #BiophotonicsDiscovery: https://lnkd.in/gG-RzaiS
