๐ Fellows, BE-LIGHT Workshop 1 is coming to Paris! ๐ซ๐ทโจ
๐ Institut de la Vision (SU) | ๐
Oct 1โ3, 2025
3 days of science, skills & networking: retinal imaging, holographic circuits, EMG-based HCI, AI & more. Plus lab visits, outreach & SB meeting!
#BELIGHT #Workshop #Photonics
๐ท๐ฐ After diving into immersive tech at the CAVE and mastering machine learning tools, the BE-LIGHT fellows wrapped up their training with an elegant dinner at Villa Eva and a visit to the stunning Malbork Castle. ๐๐ค #BELIGHT #Gdansk #photonics
โจ๐ค The BE-LIGHT fellows just completed an intensive Hands-on Training at @GdanskTech ! They explored Deep Learning, Transformers, XAI, and MLOps, with sessions led by Prof. Dr. Jacek Rumiลski, his PhD students, and Prof. Magda Mazur-Milecka. ๐ง ๐ #BELIGHT #Photonics #AITraining
Check out our stories for the best moments from the BE-LIGHT school in Gdaลsk! From deep learning & explainable AI to super-resolution microscopy & city tours โ it was an inspiring week! ๐ง ๐ฐ

#MarieCurie #HorizonEurope
The 2nd #BELIGHT school took place in Gdaลsk ๐ต๐ฑ! Fellows attended advanced courses in optics, AI, neuroscience & more, and presented impressive progress on their research projects. A week full of science, skills & connection! ๐ก๐ค๐ฌ #photonics #AIresearch
From decoding Morse code LEDs ๐ฆ to uncovering invisible ink with UV light, using polarizers ๐ถ๏ธ, laser reflections ๐ and analyzing light spectra ๐ โ science never felt so thrilling.
Huge shoutout to the PhotoniCAT team! ๐
#BELIGHT #Photonics #EscapeRoom #SciOutreach
๐โจ Optics meets mystery!
BE-LIGHT proudly joined the organization of PhotoniCatโs custom-made Escape Room, where players had to save a collapsing photonics lab using real optical principles.
๐ A thread with some of the light-based challenges! ๐งต
Dr. Mestre introduced a new way to assess kidsโ vision using continuous eye tracking ๐๏ธ
Dr. Grulkowski shared high-res, in vivo imaging of the vitreous โ across its entire depth! ๐ฌ
Pushing the boundaries of vision science โ thatโs the BE-LIGHT way.

๐ BE-LIGHT at #ARVO2025! ๐
We're proud to share that our team members Dr. Clara Mestre Ferrer and Dr. Ireneusz Grulkowski presented their latest research at the ARVO Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City this May.
๐ More about their work in the thread! ๐งต
๐ Why it matters?
New tools for automated visual function evaluation = earlier, more accurate diagnoses.
๐ Lorenzo combines eye-tracking + ML to spot patterns in ocular movement.
๐ก Check the team's previous work: Mestre et al., 2018 (PLoS ONE, 13(11))
#EyeTracking #ML
๐ Discover the cutting-edge work at @la_UPC within #BE_LIGHT! ๐
PhD student Lorenzo Fratini & supervisor Clara Mestre are developing new methods to detect visual impairments using eye-tracking + AI ๐ค๐
In collaboration with @imogrupomiranza

๐ The Second BE-LIGHT School & First Hands-on Training are coming! ๐๐ฌ
๐ Gdaลsk, Poland
๐
May 15-23, 2025
๐ Hosted by Gdaลsk University of Technology (PG)
Get ready for an enriching training experience in Deep Learning, microscopy, photonics, & more! ๐ง ๐ก#AI #DeepLearning
๐ฌ To advance retinal oximetry & automated diagnosis:
โ๏ธ They will explore new imaging modalities like Raman spectroscopy.
โ๏ธ Apply DL frameworks to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
๐ท A spectral retinograph shows the contrast of different structures!
๐ Stay tuned! #VisionResearch
๐ Exciting research at @CD6_UPC ! ๐
Prof. Meritxell Vilaseca & PhD candidate Armin Eskandari are pioneering multispectral imaging (MSI) & machine learning (ML) to revolutionize eye disease diagnosis & monitoring. ๐๏ธ๐ก
Why does this matter? ๐งต๐
โจ๐ฌ A Huge Success: Women in Science Round Table! ๐ฌโจ
We participated in an inspiring round table at the @optometria_upc, organized by #PhotoniCAT.
We discussed career inspiration, gender dynamics in research, work-life balance, and the future of women in science. ๐ก๐
๐ก How does the retina encode sensory information?
They investigate inhibitory amacrine cells to understand ganglion cell responses. Using experiments & models, they predict how healthy retinas extract visual infoโsimilar to deep learning networks! ๐ง ๐๏ธ
#RetinalResearch
At @sorbonne_univ, Prof. Matthew Chalk & PhD candidate Stefania Zoi are modeling the retina to understand ganglion cell responses๐๏ธ.
