DESCRIPTION:Prof. T. Goji Etoh\nOsaka University\, Japan\nInvited Professo
 r of EPFL\nAbstract\nAlmost every day\, people enjoy slow-motion video ima
 ges on TV\, such as curving balls in ball games\, catching preys of wild b
 ig cats and beating wings of honey birds. Prof. Etoh is a pioneer of the h
 igh-speed image-sensor technology\, and still a leader of the field toward
  the ultimate high-speed. His lecture covers history\, technologies\, and 
 what will come in the next ten years\, far beyond current technologies. Fo
 r example\, in 2018\, his team successfully captured flying light in motio
 n by one shot with their camera. Their target is a 10-ps temporal resoluti
 on in which light flies only 3 mm in vacuum and 2 mm in human bodies. Imag
 ine how and to what you could apply this futuristic technology! Many inter
 esting and fantastic ultra-highspeed motion pictures will be shown in the 
 lecture\, including a cute lizard running over water\, an experimental thu
 nderbolt\, flying light\, etc.\n\n\nBio\nProf. T. Goji Etoh received his P
 h.D. from Osaka University in 1973 for his work on floods and water resour
 ces controls in the field of civil engineering. Currently\, he is a guest 
 professor at Osaka University and an invited professor of EPFL. To visuali
 ze and analyze high-speed motions of water\, he developed a high-speed vid
 eo camera of 4\,500 frames per second (fps) in 1991\, which was fastest in
  the world and marketed as KODAK EKTAPRO HS4540. The camera was widely app
 lied to visualization of high-speed phenomena in various fields of science
  and engineering. Since then\, he has been renewing the world highest fram
 e rates of high-speed video cameras: 1\,000\,000 fps (Mfps) in 2002\, and 
 100 Mfps in 2018. He is now targeting a frame rate beyond 100 Gfps (Dt =10
  ps)\, which is the theoretical temporal resolution limit of silicon image
  sensors. He is recipients of many scientific awards\, such as Harold Edge
 rton Award of SPIE.\n\n
