PIERS —— A global symposium committed to
advancing photonics and electromagnetics for the benefit of humanity.
All speakers and talks in the hot topic session are BY INVITATION ONLY, and will be very selective on some hot/emerging topics or disruptive technologies. Each invited speaker will be given only 10 minutes to talk as a big picture talk or a highlight talk. An invited speaker in this section can also refer to his or her longer talk (if any) in PIERS.
