Related Meeting Information
The Plasmonics Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar will be held in conjunction with the Plasmonics Gordon Research Conference. Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GKRS. Please refer to the Plasmonics GRC web page for more information.

Meeting Overview

The Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar on Plasmonics is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting will be recent developments in fundamental and quantum plasmonics, active plasmonics and devices, and nonlinear and ultrafast plasmonics. In addition to student talks and posters, this meeting will feature an introduction to electrodynamics modeling and a round table discussion with leading researchers on career development.

Application Instructions

The meeting will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.

The Chairs will select speakers from abstracts submitted by February 12, 2010. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by May 22, 2010.
