Weekly Journal Club

We host a weekly, hybrid student-run journal club focused on optics and imaging papers. We invite you to come join us in-person or to join virtually through Teams on Fridays from 1-2 p.m.

Community Outreach

As members of the Atlanta community, we work to foster excitement for STEM and Optics. Volunteer projects include the Atlanta Science Festival and school outreach.

Campus Community

To support our undergraduate and graduate students, we host preparatory events include practice sessions for qualifying exams, feedback for practice thesis presentations, and opportunities for our members to work together to foster an community within the optics research community at Georgia Tech and Emory.

BiPS + Optica

Through a wide range of technical and social events, BiPS serves as a platform for the exchange of ideas, interdisciplinary research, and wider community engagement. BiPS is proud to be an offical Optica (formerly OSA) chapter!
