On April 24-29, the SLA team of the HiLASE Centre participated in the 16th International Conference on Laser Ablation COLA 2021/2022, Matsue, Japan.
Prof. Nadezhda Bulgakova was one of four Co-Chairs of the Conference together with Dr. Koji Sugioka (RIKEN, Japan), Prof. Yoshiki Nakata (Osaka University, Japan), and Dr. Alberto Piqué (Naval Research Laboratory, USA). Since 1991, COLA is an interdisciplinary conference whose topics cover a wide range of laser-oriented scientific research and bridge the gap between basic science and technological applications. This year the Conference was held in the hybrid (online + onsite) format.
The HiLASE participants presented 3 oral talks and 4 poster presentations. The HiLASE speakers participating online were Prof. Nadezhda Bulgakova, Prof. Vladimir Zhukov, Prof. Alexander Bulgakov, Dr. Miroslava Flimelová, PhD student Juraj Sládek and PhD student Jiří Beránek. Dr. Martin Zukerstein was participating in the Conference onsite.
