B-PHOT researchers have published a high-impact review in the Journal of Physics: Photonics on integrating Deep Learning throughout the optical system lifecycle. The paper provides a strategic roadmap for using AI to accelerate design, co-optimise hardware, and automate high-precision assembly.

B-PHOT will play a prominent role at the upcoming OPTICA ImageSense Congress, taking place from 12 to 17 July 2026 in Maastricht, the Netherlands.

This project will develop advanced fibre-optic sensors (DAS and FBG) to map subsurface water movement. Led by B-PHOT in collaboration with VUB HYDR and iFLUX, the €618k research aims to provide direct flow data to improve climate-resilient groundwater models.
