🔍 Would you like to find out more about optoPartner and how it was created? Then let us share with you the story of Julius Boèvi LAWSON DAKU, founder of the company! 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝? "My academic journey began with postgraduate studies in optical physics and photonics, an exciting discipline where I was able to explore the depths of science. I completed this course with a thesis in quantum mechanics, more specifically in atomic optics for those in the know. Having designed and programmed a lot of numerical models during my studies, I decided to merge my coding skills with my background in physics, creating an innovative synergy between these two fields." 💡 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥? "But this journey would never have come to fruition without the unwavering support of those close to me, and in particular my friend Bruno Teplier. One day he said to me: "You're no less capable than anyone else when it comes to entrepreneurship." Those simple but powerful words sparked a new ambition in me. On the strength of this motivation and my accumulated knowledge, I have developed and put into practice an ambitious project: optoPartner. 🚀 🤝I'll finish by saying that helping and sharing are at the heart of my philosophy. These values reflect my inquisitive and pragmatic nature, and they motivate me to go the extra mile.  🌟Thank you to all those who have been and still are by my side in this exciting adventure." You will now have a better understanding of optoPartner's values and approach ... #optoPartner #Journey #Innovation #Collaboration #OpticalPhysics #Software #OptoPartner #Entrepreneurship #Technology #Leadership #Growth #Motivation #Sharing Hub Optics & Photonics Systematic France

Publication of the LER Accelerator inventory marks a critical milestone in the LER landscape. The inventory provides a comprehensive overview of key initiatives, organizations and funding sources driving the LER movement. Think of the inventory as a compass, helping institutions and organizations navigate the complex terrain of digital credentialing and skills verification. To learn more about Library Founder Holly Zanville's thoughts on the LER Accelerator, read her latest piece in The EvoLLLution: A Modern Campus Illumination: https://lnkd.in/gQes-xBN #LWLibrary #LER #AccelerateLERs #Learn #Work #Ecosystem #Library

The movement continues... "LERs clearly have the potential to revolutionize how learning and skills are verified for all learners and workers. In fact, they could well become the cornerstone for a more equitable and efficient education-to-employment pipeline." Note, what is key about verifiable is not just did you finish something, but how and what did you learn, and even better yet, demonstration of a skill. #skills #lifelonglearning #futureofwork #alllearningcounts #datasupported

Al Kapoor, Chairman and CEO of Syntec Optics (Nasdaq: OPTX), delivered the opening keynote on day two of the Global Photonics Economic Forum 2024, titled “Insightful Exploration of the Photonics Industry's Evolution, Emphasizing Current Trends and Future Growth Areas.” He based his talk on the theme “Questions Worth Answering” (about the Future of Photonics), similar to TED Talks’ “Ideas Worth Spreading.” In this keynote, find answers to questions like: + Is light everywhere? + How far have we come with our contribution? + Will growth continue? + Where is the next opportunity? + Is our contribution meaningful to advancement?

Exciting news! VLC Photonics has collaborated in the latest issue of Photonics Spectra. The article explores how Test Design Kits (TDKs) are accelerating the "Fab-less to Lab-less" transition in #PhotonicIntegratedCircuit production 🚀 As our CEO, Iñigo Artundo mentions, "The biggest challenge becomes developing custom test setup configurations to adapt to layouts that are not properly conceived in the first place". TDKs encourage a paradigm shift, making testing an integral part of the design process rather than an afterthought. This not only reduces engineering costs but also accelerates time-to-market for photonics-powered products. Lastly, TDKs play a vital role in nurturing the next generation of talent, providing the necessary tools and resources for software-assisted wafer-level characterization. This equips the industry with the skilled workforce needed to drive further innovation and growth 🙌 Read the full article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/duibgyTH #PICDesign #TestDesignKits
