We would like to offer you the opportunity to support WOMA24.

WOMA is a leading international conference series on optical microcavities and their applications.

The 7th WOMA will be held in Aotearoa New Zealand at the University of Otago in Ōtepoti Dunedin during the 25th - 29th November 2024. This conference will be in person during the spring on the South Island of New Zealand.

Scholars from around the world of the optical microcavity community will share and discuss their latest work and insights in this rapidly expanding field. The five-day Workshop will include invited talks, contributed talks, student poster presentations and social activities in Ōtepoti Dunedin.

Confirmed invited speakers include preeminent researchers in the field, Profs Kerry Vahala (Caltech), Hui Cao (Yale), and Prof Vahid Sandoghdar (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light). Three Best Student Awards will be awarded.
