Thijs van Gogh wins best presentation prize at NFO 2022


Awards

At the Near-Field Optics conference, which was held in Victoria, Canada early September 2022,  Thijs van Gogh was awarded a prize for the best oral presentation.  In his talk titled “Diffusion of optical phase singularities” he discussed his recent experimental work on the diffusive behaviour of phase singularities in random wave fields, through the use of a near-field microscope.

Congratulations Thijs on winning this prize!
