5th International Symposium on

Laser-Ultrasonics and Advanced Sensing

4th to 8th July 2016, Linz, Austria

 

Thank you for attending the 5th International Symposium on Laser-Ultrasonics and Advanced Sensing!

 

You are cordially invited to the 5th International Symposium on Laser-Ultrasonics and Advanced Sensing (LU2016) to be held at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz, from July 4th to 8th, 2016.

The symposium is dedicated to the latest scientific results, methodological and technological advancements, and the most relevant applications of Laser-Ultrasonics. According to the tradition of LU symposia, researchers from academia and industry are invited to participate and exchange their knowledge on Laser-Ultrasonics and Advanced sensing.

A special “Industry Day” will be introduced in LU2016 for the first time. For this “Industry Day“ potential customers around the globe and from different branches like automotive-, aerospace-, semiconductor industry, raw material producer, and many more will be invited. Here, they will get an idea of what Laser-Ultrasonics is about and how they can enhance their products with this technology.


Throughout the conference social events will be organized in order to promote informal discussions between the participants.

A Young Scientist award, sponsored by Tecnar, will be presented to the best paper contributed by students.
