PhotonHub Europe has launched a an online community platform. European SMEs, start-ups, and scale-ups who have a vested interest in photonics - either as technology providers or as early users or potential adopters of photonics - can join the community and find business, technology, and investment support to innovate.

B-PHOT researcher Yunfeng Nie was selected as FWO senior postdoctoral research fellow for her research in lab-on-chip detection to contribute to the early diagnosis or screening of Alzheimer’s disease(AD).

24 of Europe’s leading competence centres have joined together to offer their expertise and access to their mature technologies to researchers in photonics. The ACTPHAST4R consortium will use its community to engage with European researchers and build a growing network.

Sidney Goossens has successfully defended his PhD research work on Optical fibre sensors for damage detection in aerospace-grade composites structures.

VUB and B-PHOT are looking for excellent postdoctoral researchers to join the imπACT programme. With the available Fellowships, supported by European Union's Horizon 2020 programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie COFUND Grant Agreement, VUB is looking to create more impact with strategic & applied research.

B-PHOT Professor Wendy Meulebroeck will be the Guest Editor for a Special Issue of Biosensors Journal on ‘Photonics-Based (Bio-)Sensors for a Healthy Planet'.

The team of Prof. Martin Virte for his ERC project COLOR'UP is expanding with three new team members at B-PHOT. Post-doc researchers Spencer Jolly and Pablo Marin-Palomo, and PhD student Shahab Abdollahi join the team.

The European project 'SensApp' develops groundbreaking diagnostics for Alzheimer’s disease. The new sensor technology could enable diagnosis from a routine blood sample. VUB is involved in the project with the development of a sensitive fluorescence detection module.

Vrije Universiteit Brussel has approved the plans of B-PHOT Brussels Photonics for the construction of the STEAM Academy in Gooik, an educational center where science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths meet each other.

Join us in this event to get more information about Micro/Nano plastics pollutions and their analysis methods. The main speakers are 14 early-stage researchers from the MONPLAS program and guest speaker Dr. Daniel Hill.

In the Smart Hub Health Experience, six innovators in health technology in Flemish Brabant (including VUB B-PHOT) open up their labs for exclusive virtual tours. Pay a visit now!

At the VUB Light Night, the B-PHOT Student Chapter announced the three winners of this year's Photo Contest. The street art concept 'Lightomium Painting' from Mathilde Patin won the first prize.
