I am delighted (and a little nervous about the long flights) to be going to participate in CLEO 2022.
2018 was the last in person CLEO for me and I have missed my friends, colleagues and the Photonics community. I hope to make up for the months we were all locked in.
This year will be fun. Apart from teaching my short course on Finite Element Method on Monday @1.30pm (come and attend if you simulate electromagnetic phenomena!), I will be on the panel that discusses being an ethnic minority in STEM, and introducing the D&I plenary all on Wednesday.
And doing an informal talk about FEM on Wednesay (sans slides most likely) at the Exhibit Floor,possibly also doing a “meet the Editors” at the Optica booth (I am one of the topical editors for JOSA A).
Obviously there will be any number of talks that I will attend, but what I am most looking forward to are the connections and conversations! So no excuse, you know my schedule- come say hi!
