Study Session on Phosphor-Free White LEDs for Solid State Lighting
On January 11, 2013, McGill University hosted a study session on Phosphor-Free White FEDs for Solid State Lighting.
There were over 50 participants, including 16 professors from 6 Canadian universities and over 20 people from 18 companies in Canada. The participants also included two keynote speakers: Prof. Fred Schubert at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a world leader in solid state lighting, and Dr. George Wang at Sandia National Labs, one of the pioneers of nanowire LEDs.
