The Third Australia-China Symposium on Terahertz Science and Technology

Time and Venue

December 12 - 15, 2017
University of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia
Australian National University, Canberra

Themes

This is the third bilateral symposium (the first in 2008 and the second in 2015) on this important and rapid growing field where there are strong and growing collaboration between leading groups in Australia and in China. The symposium covers topics including terahertz sources, spectroscopy, imaging, materials, communication, and biomedical applications. The second day of this year’s symposium will be joined by the Third Australian Workshop of Terahertz Science in Australian National University, Canberra.
