The OSA - IFISC Student Chapter is a group of Ph.D. students of IFISC (Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems, CSIC-UIB) and the Physics Department of the UIB (University of the Balearic Islands) with a broad spectrum of ongoing research for their Thesis but with a common interest in Optics. Our advisor is Dr. Roberta Zambrini.

The OSA (Optical Society of America) promotes the Student Chapters with the aim to establish collaboration networks with other students, participate in outreaching activities, and encourage the interest in optics of undergraduate students and the general public.

'Ilumínate' Inauguration

On Thursday we inaugurated the exposition 'Ilumínate' at the Casal Solleric in Palma de Mallorca. The complete student chapter (advisor included!) helped in the organization and set up of the exposition and their experiments, and we also included our brand new Laser Graffiti. The Casal solleric is a 18th century upper class building, with strong roots to the social and economic history of Mallorca. Nowadays is owned by the townhall as an art and cultural center. The inauguration was a big event, and we could use the Laser Graffiti in front of the building on its magnificient balconies and statues. The artistic skills provided by the presence of local artists with us at the event resulted in beautiful projections on this beloved building, In this case, the audience could not join us drawing, but they did in fact joined us by enjoying the art like us: by looking at the wall and how it got filled with bright colours under the Christmas blinking lights that floods the streets of the city.
