PRESIDENT’S WORD

Since its establishment in 2010, SPIE student chapter at ANDC has emerged as

one of the integral parts of ANDC. The chapter adheres to its ideology of “The

Easing and Promotion of photonics and optics”. The chapter allows the bustling

minds of student to expand their horizon and look forward to science as fun and

interesting, this has been evident from the activities conducted over the past years

and the kits developed by students for demonstration.

The year 2015-16 kicked off with council elections and induction of new

members. The interest among the students about research at undergraduate level,

led this chapter to whopping 71 members. The newly inducted members were

trained by their seniors about the chapter and its activities. Throughout the year

the chapter was always in motion by involving in some or the other activities. The

students learnt a great deal from it. Mr. Vivek Trivedi attended the SPIE Optics

and Photonics 2015 at San Diego and shared his experience with the chapter,

talking from the wide scope of optics as a career to the experience of being

involved in such a huge conference. I attended SPIE FOCUS Armenia (OPTICS

2015) held in Armenia where I got an exposure to the world of optics and the

opportunities that lie within this field. The chapter showcased its activities at

Silver Jubilee Celebrations of the College, Rajatotsav , where the efforts of the

student members and the faculty advisor were praised by all. The demonstrations

witnessed a huge crowd and a lot of positive feedbacks.

In conclusion, I can proudly say that the credit for the success of the chapter over

the past year goes to student members and the faculty advisor Dr. Amit Garg for

their never ending support in enriching the chapter with their hard work and

efforts.
