The magical internet-providing properties of聽fibre optics are well-known. But hardly anyone has heard of fibre optics that can diagnosis cancer or detect gravity waves, and Dr Matthew Partridge, of the EPSRC-funded at the , is using comedy to change that.
Dr Matthew Partridge is a Senior Research Fellow at the ORC, a comedian, blogger and cartoonist.聽
If you are curious about photonics, Matthew invites you to preview his Edinburgh Fringe comedy performance of Fibre optics can save the world聽in celebration of UNESCO’s on Wednesday 16 May from 16:00 in seminar room.
Drinks, pizza and goody bags follow the free hour-long show.
In their review of the show, Physics World commented:
“The show is educational, packed full of fascinating insight into the invention and uses of fibre optics.鈥�
These wonderful, cutting-edge fibre optics sensors can do amazing things and fix almost any problem. If you don鈥檛 believe something so tiny can save the world, come and challenge Matthew with any predicament and he鈥檒l tell you how fibre optic sensors can fix it!
