Dear all OSA student chapters,
On behalf of organizers of the conference, I’d like to give my sincere regards to all the members of your chapter.
For promoting development of optics and optoelectronics, strengthening international academic exchanges and cooperation for graduate students, the conference “IONS(International OSA Network of Students) Xi’an 2017” will be held in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China from April 24 to April 28, 2017. The conference is located at Hilton Garden Inn, and it is expected to have about 200 attendees, 8 distinguished experts and professors, such as prof. Sune Svanberg (Chairman of Nobel Committee for Physics in Royal Academy of Sciences), prof. Katarina Svanberg (Former Chairman of SPIE) and prof.Jannick Rolland (Associate Director of the R.E.
