Sze Y. Set, PhD

Science doesn’t need to go according to plan; it just needs to lead to a discovery. If doesn’t have to be done alone or together with a buddy; there just needs to be a discovery. It doesn’t need to happen fast or slow; just as long as there’s a discovery, then everybody is happy.

What is a PhD?

@rachelpcwon @NaturePhotonics @NatRevElectrEng @DavidPile1 @NoriakiHoriuch1 @giampypit Congratulations! The Photonics community will miss you and your charming personality. Hope to still see you around in conferences and meetings.

Celebrating my 19 years with @NaturePhotonics today,I'd like to share that I'll be the ChiefEditor of @NatRevElectrEng from 1Jul🥳It's been an incredible journey w Oliver @DavidPile1 @NoriakiHoriuch1 @giampypit &the amazing photonics community.Your ongoing support is much needed.

#IEEEVICSummit in Tokyo.

I am extremely proud of our new PhD graduate Dr Bowen Liu receiving the prestigious award at the IEEE OGC 2024.

@MilesPadgett What can cause a hole in a titanium frame?? Femtosecond lasers?

I found a hole in my beloved titanium bike frame (>15years of use). So have bought another around which to rebuild a bike :).

@keio_photon University corporate cards come to the rescue!

Paid for two papers in #OSA_OpEx with my personal credit card—super expensive! Now I have to wait months for reimbursement from my research grant. How do other institutions handle this? #academictwitter

Back to the basics.

Team Japan at the #CLEO2024 Chair’s reception.

So great to meet the legendary Prof Govind Agrawal at @CLEOConf. We discussed a “stiff” simulation problem we faced and he suggested a potential solutions. #CLEO2024 #NonLinearFiberOptics

We are excited to be sharing our recent research works at #CLEO2024 next week. @OpticaWorldwide @CLEOConf @IEEEPhotonics We will be presenting the following 8 papers: cntp.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/2024/05/02/cle…

Interestingly, the Dispersive Fourier Transform (DFT) technique which is now a key tool in measuring such laser buildup dynamics dates back to the 1980s - Akhmanov described the DFT stretched pulse as the "spectron"

We had an exciting skiing trip. Every one of the big family enjoyed the gathering time.

We had a successful OPTICA symposium , chapter members of UTokyo and Harvard University gave talks on biomedical photonics.
