15th International School of Trigger and Data Acquisition (ISOTDAQ2025)

ISOTDAQ 2025 is an international school organized for the 15th time with an aim of introducing those with an education in physics, engineering or computing (ranging from undergrads to postdocs) to the "arts and crafts" of triggering and acquiring data for physics experiments. The main aim of the school is to provide an overview of the basic instruments and methodologies used in high energy physics, spanning from small experiments in the lab to the very large LHC experiments, emphasizing the main building blocks as well as the different choices and architectures at different levels of complexity. The school is split 50%-50% between a series of lectures, which are open to public, and hands-on laboratory exercises, where the registered school participants will use the concepts and techniques they have learned throughout the course.

Lectures are open to public.

WHEN? 17 - 26 June 2025

WHERE? National Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (NFTMC), Saulėtekio al. 3, Vilnius.

The defence will take place at 30 June 2025, 14:00, at VU Faculty's of Physics Laser Research Centre (Saulėtekio al. 10, LT-10223, Vilnius). Research Supervisor - prof. dr. Domas Paipulas.

Sunrise Valley Quantum Seminars | "Hong-Ou-Mandel Interferometry for Fluorescence Lifetime Sensing"

Hong-Ou-Mandel effect (HOM), also known as two-photon interference, is a key tool in quantum optics laboratories, and has powerful applications for metrology and sensing even in the classical regime. We recently demonstrated that HOM interferometry can be used to for fluorescence lifetime imaging – a key tool in biomedical research that can detect changes in cell microenvironment such as temperature, pH, viscosity and protein-protein interactions.

Sunrise Valley Quantum Seminars | "Emergent topological properties in subwavelength lattices"

This seminar will present how cold atoms and topological phenomena are merging into one of the most exciting research areas in modern physics. Using cold atoms in optical lattices, scientists can simulate topological phases in materials - from topological insulators and superconductors to the Quantum Hall effect. Such models allow the study of edge states, quantum responses and new quantum phases of matter that do not exist in ordinary materials.

FINNIS ANNI ACADEMICI | 2025

On Friday, 27 June at 3:00 pm, the Vilnius University community will traditionally gather to celebrate the end of the academic year with the “Finis anni academici” ceremony. The festive event will take place at the VU St John’s Church, where distinguished members of the academic community will be honoured.

During the ceremony, symbolic commemorative diplomas will be awarded to students and lecturers who suffered repression under totalitarian regimes and were expelled from VU.

The Rector of VU will present commemorative awards recognising outstanding scientific achievements to individual researchers and research teams. Rector’s acknowledgements will also be given to graduates whose studies and scholarly work have been recognised with Magna cum laude diplomas. For significant contributions to the university’s mission and substantial material support, the title of Vilnius University Patron will be bestowed.

At 5:00 pm, the official close of the academic year will be marked by the symbolic lowering of the VU flag. The flag will be raised again on 1 September, welcoming the community to the new academic year.

Miglė Kuliešaitė's dissertation defence

Miglė Kuliešaitė, PhD student at Vilnius University, 4 July 2025, 15:00, at 306 auditorium, the Laser Research Centre (Saulėtekio al. 10, LT-10223, Vilnius), will be defending her PhD thesis "Investigation of nonlinear coherent phenomena in photonic crystal fibers". Supervisor - doc. dr. Vygandas Jarutis.

The defence will be held in Lithuanian.
