Photonics has an important role to play in tackling the future public health and economic challenges raised by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Professor Sir David Payne, Principal Investigator of The Future Photonics Hub and Director of the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), shares his thoughts on what the future holds.
He explores:
* How the UKs research agenda may change in the wake of COVID-19?
* How might research funding areas change as a result?
* How is the UK research community as a whole likely to adapt?
* How can academia collaborate more effectively with industry?
* How does photonics fit into the wider research agenda?
* How could photonics research contribute to medical solutions for diseases such as COVID-19?
* Are there other areas where photonics could provide solutions to problems associated with the pandemic?
* How is The Future Photonics Hub helping to maximise the potential of photonics technology?
