The Stanford University Photonics Retreat is an annual event hosted by the Stanford Optical Society, the local students chapters of OSA and SPIE.
SUPR's primary purpose is to promote greater interaction within the Stanford optics and photonics research community, which is spread across many departments. Attendees come from the departments of electrical engineering, applied physics, chemistry, materials science, bioengineering and biophysics, mechanical engineering, environmental science, and biology, and from SLAC and the School of Medicine. The retreat provides an opportunity to stimulate interactions among this diverse group of researchers and serves as a catalyst for fruitful collaborations.
