I had good fun attending Wonshik Choi&#8217;s and Laura&#8217;s talks about phase-retrieval. Wonshik&#8217;s invited [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=shalin.wordpress.com&blog=2052043&post=409&subd=shalin&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

FiO has been eventful from the very first day &#8211; the highlight of the morning for me was the keynote of Milton Chang at student chapter leadership meeting and the meeting itself.
