Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
It is good to be back and I’d like to express my thanks for everyone who supported the School Community over a very raw start to this year. I am very grateful to Professor Hoe Tan for acting so admirably in my absence. No one has been left unaffected and I know we are all conscious of the cumulative effect these events pose. However people’s concerns manifest please be generous try and accommodate.
Over February the Associate Directors will be drafting Terms of Reference and marshalling the working parties for the implementation of the School Review. The Event Horizon will have a new entry each week to give a running status of each working party.
Have a good week,
Tim |

Congratulations
Congratulations to the NLPC team Kirill Koshelev, Liza Melik-Gaykazyan, Sergey Kruk, and Yuri Kivshar on publishing their research on subwavelength dielectric resonators for nonlinear nanophotonics in Science. The paper demonstrates that a nanoscale resonator hosting a special mode with a high quality factor (quasi-bound state in the continuum) can dramatically boost nonlinear effects. » read more
