The 4th edition of the workshop Photonics for Health, Atmosphere, Safety and Education (PHASE 2023) was held recently during 30-31 Mar 2023. The workshop was organized as part of the Distinguished International Associate (DIA) award of the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK. There were 17 invited speakers, a poster session for research scholars, laboratory visits and hands-on sessions.



We attended FLAIR 2022, Aix Les Bains, France and demonstrated remote operation of our automated TDLAS-based water vapour monitoring system that was operating back in our lab. We had some useful discussions with Prof Greg Rieker and Dr Lukas Emmenegger.
