We are part of the OPTICA formerly OSA (The Optical Society), one of the premier professional bodies focused on the promotion of Optics/Photonics research and education. Since the formation of our Chapter in 2009, we have progressed leaps and bounds in several of our Chapter’s goals including promotion of research, innovate, educate and enhance awareness in Optics and Photonics. The Chapter is completely run by student representatives and is advised by a faculty member from the Optics and Photonics research group at IIT Madras, Chennai, India.
