This past month, 5 members of IQO attended the annual Max Planck School of Photonics Autumn School in Nürnberg, Germany. From September 25th to September 29th, 4 PhD students and members of MPSP (Franz Roeder, Fabian, Schlue, Silia Babel, Ankita Khanda), as well as an MPSP alumna Dr. Laura Padberg, participated in professional development workshops and visited the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen. A poster session was held on the second last day of the School with the 1st and 2nd poster prize awarded to Ankita Khanda and Silia Babel. In total, the following posters were presented:
