Several members of the group will be attending the 10th International conference on Optical Terahertz Science and Technology (OTST 2024) in Marberg, Germany on 8th - 12th April 2024.

Come along and see us!

First prize of a £100 Amazon voucher was awarded to Anubhav Dogra (University of Warwick), presented in his absence by Ben Page, for the poster entitled: "Robotic Platform for In Vivo Skin Assessment Using Contact THz Probe”.

Second prize of a £50 Amazon voucher was awarded to Harry Penketh (University of Exeter) for the poster entitled: “Microwave super-resolution imaging for cancer margin measurement”.

Congratulations to both and thanks to all who presented a poster.
