Look at me right here.

Don't go.

Okay.

Welcome.

Sorry, we're a bit late.

And because we're late I will waste some more time

on some commercial break.

So I was asked to show a couple of slides

because some of you may be in the final phase

or in the last semesters of your bachelor's

and maybe you're not already decided

what kind of master program you're going for.

And

if the beemer

will decide to work at some point.

Okay, somebody used the HDMI before me.

Okay, I use good old analog technology, but it works.

So I was asked to show a couple of slides on the master program in advanced optical technologies.

And there is an info event on Monday 15th at 16.15. It will be here at age 15.

And yeah, so this room here is Kauerstraße 7.9, right? So it's exactly here, but it's not right now.

And the master program in advanced optical technologies focuses a bit on, of course, optics,

but there's also aspects of physics, and also you can select topics that will also go into computational optics,

and you can also study a bit of computer science.

So, in fact, I have nothing to do with the MAOT, but some of you may already be enrolled in MAOT,

so there's a couple of MAOT students also taking this class here.

And the other thing is there is also a graduate school, subsequent PhD program,

and that is not directly related to MAOT, but some of the graduates from MAOT also then decide to go

for the School of Advanced Optical Technologies, but it's not a requirement to have been in MAOT

before you go to SAOT. And SAOT is a PhD graduate school and it funds PhD programs.

Unfortunately, SAOT will only run for another two years, so it's part of the Excellence Initiative

and the funding will run out in two years. So if you want to acquire SAOT funding,

you better be quick. MAOT will continue. So maybe some overview on this program.

It's a four semester program. First semester is fundamentals, optics. Then you can decide for different topics.

So in the second, third semester you can decide for a particular field of study,

and the topics that we are kind of related to is computational optics and optics in medicine.

So this is image processing, it's also somehow related to computational optics and optics in medicine.

And in the last semester you write your master thesis. Who is enrolled in MAOT here? Is there?

Is this correct what I'm telling you so far? You will stop me if something is wrong.

Okay, so we have three. Why are you in the last row?

The overview. And for the next slide you come to the first row.

It's international, so it's entirely in English, except for the title slide.

And it's interdisciplinary, so all departments of the School of Engineering are part of this,

and it's also linked to the Department of Physics and of course also with the School of Medicine.

And there is, what does integration with graduate school, SAOT mean?

What does integration with SAOT mean? I thought they are independent.

They are, but usually you can work together with PhD students and live students.

And you can also attend the same workshops. They are for free.

So if you are enrolled in MAOT you can go to the summer and winter academies for free?

Once a year. Once a year. Okay.

So there are free trips to summer and winter academies associated with the MAOT.
