Description

The University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) is five hundred years old and is a middle-sized but complete public university located at the northwest of Spain. Today its GRIN Optics group of the Department of Applied Physics, a research group within the Faculty of Physics and Optics and Optometry School, is international recognized for its basic and applied research on “GRadient-INdex Optics”.
The GRIN Optics group is equipped with computing infrastructure, optical instrumentation in clean-room conditions for micro-optics and holography and materials science laboratories. Currently the research of the GRIN Optics group is focused on “Spatial and Temporal Talbot Effect for Coupling and Pulse Compression Purposes”, “Hybrid diffractive-GRIN Devices for Integration Technology” and “GRIN Human Crystalline Lens Models”. GRIN Optics group is therefore a good candidate to contribute to research activities of Nemo that focus on "Prototyping Mastering and Replication" and "Micro-Optical Elements for Industrial and Biomedical Applications".
USC is the first University in Spain to organize an Optoelectronics Speciality in Physics Curriculum. USC is integrated in European student exchange programs, mainly in the framework of ERASMUS/SOCRATES and the GRIN Optics group plays an important role in all activities related to "Education and Training" on Optics and Optoelectronics.
