About the Photonics Student Society at Boston University

The objective of this chapter is to:

1. Promote awareness of the optical science and optical engineering among the academic and local communities,
2. Serve as a means of communication and interaction between students, faculty, and administration,
3. Establish interaction between students and local sections and national headquarters of the Optica,
   SPIE, and the IEEE Photonics Society,
4. Broaden the student’s insight of post-graduate opportunities.

What is the Photonics Student Society at Boston University?

The Photonics Student Society at Boston University is the student chapter at Boston University of  Optica, SPIE, and the IEEE Photonics Society. It is an organization for photonics students led by photonics students through the help and support of the Boston University Photonics Center as well as our funding organizations.

The society came to be through the 2023 addition of the IEEE Photonics Society to the already existing Optica/SPIE (formerly OSA/SPIE) student chapter at Boston University, revived in 2022.

As outlined above, our mission is to provide scientific and professional development and to foster a fun and stimulating environment for photonics students at Boston University as well as to perform outreach to promote interest in the field of photonics beyond the borders of our community.
