Winter college on applications of optics and photonics in food science
Dal 11/02/2019 ore 09.00 al 22/02/2019 ore 18.00
International center for theoretical physics (Ictp), Budinich Lecture Hall (LB)
Strada Costiera, 11
I - 34151 Trieste (Italy)
The aim of the Winter college is to offer Ph.D. students and other emerging researchers broad training in the innovative applications of optics and photonics in food and agriculture.
Deriving impact through research, development and entrepreneurship in this sector will be explored.

Improving food, from production to processing, is one of the most important and successful contributions of modern optical and photonic innovations. Optical sensing and spectroscopy discoveries have provided huge advances in all areas, from identifying nutritional components, to uncovering contamination by adulterants and pathogens. Tailored light and light-based technologies also are used to better grow plants, purify water, kill pathogens, hatch eggs, and sort sperm and oocytes for herd control. The keen interest in photonics for food and agriculture is global and rapidly growing – a future with smart optics and photonics will succeed in feeding the world’s people sustainably. In addition to lectures, there will be tutorials and hands-on activities.
An Ictp preparatory school will be organized the week before the College (from 4-8 February 2019) for a limited number of selected participants.
