The fastMOT Young Researchers Exchange recently brought early-career scientists together at University College London (UCL) for two intensive and inspiring weeks of collaboration, innovation and cultural exchange. Hosted at UCL, PhD students from across the consortium worked side by side to advance simulations in time-domain optical techniques, strengthen cross-institutional[…]

On 18-19 February, the fastMOT team came together at University College London (UCL) for its fifth in-person meeting. The two-day hybrid event provided an opportunity to review recent findings, address challenges across the project’s work packages and define the next steps for the months ahead. The meeting opened with[…]

As part of our mission to innovate deep-body optical imaging and share our research journey with the wider community, we’ve created dedicated playlists featuring: Interviews with project members: Get to know the people behind the science, learn about their roles, motivations and perspectives within fastMOT.Technology talks and explainers, where[…]

At the end of August, the fastMOT consortium gathered for its fourth in-person meeting at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall. The meeting took place just after the ISOTT 2025 conference, held at the same venue in the preceding days, thus providing the perfect atmosphere for in-depth collaboration.  The full-day hybrid[…]

Happy to share that Martin Caldarola delivered a presentation on “A Quantum Detector System For Hybrid Time-domain Diffuse Optics” at the ISOTT2025 conference in Thessaloniki last week!

It’s time to look back on our achievements and highlights from the second year of the fastMOT project!  As we enter the third year of our project, we can report some great results from the past 12 months, including five new publications and several presentations at international conferences.  All[…]

We’re back with the second installment of our interview series, where members of the technical work packages share their work and vision within the fastMOT project. In this episode, we speak with Lisa Kobayashi, Postdoc at ICFO, representing Work Package 5 (WP5). Lisa offers a behind-the-scenes look at the[…]

Happy to share that Antonio Pifferi had the opportunity to present the latest developments of our fastMOT project at the Laserlab-Europe General Assembly, hosted at the STFC in Didcot, UK, on 14 May 2025. For more information on our project, follow us on LinkedIn and Bluesky!

We’re excited to launch a new series where members of the technical work packages share insights into their work and contributions to the project. Kicking off the series, we have Tommaso Palo, PhD Student at Politecnico di Milano, representing WP4. In this video, he dives into the key focus[…]
