Takashi and Fariha were in Manchester this past week to run some Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) measurements and to attend the Recent Appointees in Polymer Science (RAPS) meeting.

ToF-SIMS was used to map the chemical composition of waveguide-encoded lattices, so we can better understand structure-property relations in these materials. Many thanks to the Henry Royce Institute for funding the equipment time!

Later in the week, Takashi presented a talk and Fariha presented a flash talk and poster at the RAPS meeting.

Many congratulations to Fariha who was awarded a poster prize for her poster titled ”Complex photoresponsivity with light-induced refractive index modulation”. 👏 🥳
